Tucumcari

Jimmie Rodgers Roulette R-4191

(Olofson-McIntyre) Mappa Mus. Corp. ASCAP



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
