At first I did not think it could be you
But you're the only one that got off the train
So you must be my wife, Miss Annie Halsey, yes, yes
I must be your husband
Yes, I'm Harry Crane

Mail Order Annie
Never mind you cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
To tell you that I'm glad you're here
You are the woman, who's come to be my wife

You know you're not as pretty
As I dreamed you'd be
But then I'm not no handsome Fancy Dan
But out here looks are really not important, no, no
It's what's inside a woman
When she's up against the land

Mail Order Annie
Never mind your cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
To tell you that I'm glad you're here
You are the woman, who's come to be my wife

You know it's not no easy life you're enterin'
The winter wind comes whistlin'
Through the cracks there in the sod
You know you'll never have
Too many neighbors
But there's you, babe
And there's me and there's God

You know I'm just a dirty man
From the North Dakota plains
You're one girl from the city
Who's been thrown out on her own
And I'm standin' here not sure of what to say to you
'Ceptin' Mail Order Annie
Let's you and me go home

Mail Order Annie
Never mind your cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
To tell you that I'm glad you're here
You are the woman
Who's come to be my wife
