Well, the sign at the station said “Winnipeg” when I got off that weary train,
And the woman who came to greet me was friendly, but you were buzzin’ round in my brain,
She showed me the room I would sleep in, I put down my suitcase and sighed,
The room was alright, but I knew that I would not fall asleep if I tried,
I was down on my knees I’ll admit it, I was willing to moan and beg,
But no matter how I look at it I’m stuck in Winnipeg,
And who knows how long I’ll be here and if they’ll open up the track,
And when they do which way I’ll ride and which way is forward or back,
And I’m not sure if it’s fate or a ticket that wound me up in this town,
I’ve been scratching my head tryin’ to figure it out while the whole world turns upside down,
I’m stuck in Manitoba, but I’m dreamin’ of that train,
And of the day I’m gonna pack my bags and see my baby again,
I don’t know how much longer, don’t know how long it’s been,
I wake and eat and sleep and breathe and the world still seems to spin,
But one thing is for certain, you still buzz ‘round in my brain,
And lord have mercy, I do pray you ain’t buzzin’ round there in vain,
Not sure if it’s fate or a ticket that wound me up in this town,
I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure it out as the whole world turns upside down,
I’m stuck in Manitoba but I’m dreaming of that train,
And of the day I’m gonna pack my bags and see my baby again.
