RIDIN' ON THE GRAVY TRAIN
(Steve Graham / Sunny Skylar / Benjamin Homer)

as recorded by Jo Stafford
March 28th 1946 Los Angeles


I'm just walkin' through clover,
Got no right to complain,
All my worries are over,
Ridin' on the gravy train.

Left my troubles behind me,
Left 'em back in the rain.
If you want me you'll find me
Ridin' on the gravy train.

Brother I occupy
A seat on the aisle.
Don't need fare,
Goin' there
'Cause your fare is a smile.

Got a rainbow to guide me,
Got a happy refrain.
Lady Luck is beside me,
Ridin' on the gravy train.

Brother I occupy
A seat on the aisle.
Don't need fare,
Goin' there
'Cause your fare is a smile.

Got a rainbow to guide me,
Got a happy refrain.
Lady Luck is beside me,
Ridin' on the gravy train.
With my baby beside me,
Ridin' on the gravy train!
