Oh, Mina

Oh Mina, if I could see her

Just for one more night

I’d try to make her mine

She found me In the parlor

The one right off of broadway

late at night

I bought her a shot of whiskey

She told me she was on her way back home

And that she travelled

Across the country

But never found what she’d been looking for

She said she’s waited a long and lonely time

Trying to make some sense of this life

And now she’s making her way onward through the night to find

Oh Mina, “Can I leave with ya?”

She told me I don’t think that you want to go

And I told her if I don’t leave with ya

I’m gonna die in this old town

And that ain’t worth a damn

I said I’ve waited such a long and lonely time

Never tried to make the best of my life

So now I’m making my way onward through the night with my

Oh Mina, Gone by the morning

She left me on my own again

She wrote a note down

left it on the table

“You’ll have to find me if you ever want to see me again.”

We’ve been waiting such a long and lonely time

Trying to make some sense of this life

And now I’m making my way onward through the night to find Oh, Mina.
