Tucumcari Lyrics

[WHISTLING] Twelve more miles to Tucumcari I've been hurrying there To the gal I'm gonna marry With the yellowest hair {Left right march along I've just gotta get home} (just gotta get home) Ten more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home) Eight more miles to Tucumcari It's the fourth of July Been three years in January Since I kissed her goodbye {Left right march along I've just gotta get home} (just gotta get home) Six more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home) Four more miles to Tucumcari Not much further to go Got no time to waste or tarry She'll be waitin' I know {Left right march along I've just gotta get home} (just gotta get home) Two more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home) Here I am in Tucumcari Found my yellow-haired gal Just in time to see her marry With my very best pal {Left right march along Guess I better be gone} (I better be gone) A thousand miles from Tucumcari I'll be rambling on (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on) A hundred miles from Tucumcari Down in Santa Fe Fell in love with a girl named Mary Gee I'm happy today {No more marching now Found my honeycomb} (found my honeycomb) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to roooaaaammmmm
