lyrics

Bound for No Man’s Land



Oh, they all came to dance with her
That pretty little lady with the blue dress on
Black hair curling round her neck
And she swayed to every song
There was something about her
It took me back to the rising sun
Red, red wine and feelin’ fine
And engine on the run

Well I caught her pretty eye across the floor
And I walked up quietly
I said, “Little lady
Come tell me now
How are things in New Orleans?”
She turned around and walked away,
Seems she didn’t really want to stay
I said,” Gloria, oh Gloria”
Then she looked my way

Well it seemed like a thousand years
But, it was only ten
Since she left me on train
Bound for no man’s land
Well, I thought I knew her a way back when
But I guess didn’t know her then
And if there was no in between
Well I guess there was no end

Still she gave me that same old smile
She said, “And, how you doing Ben?
Seems you’ve come a long, long way
To get back again”

I said, “Gloria, oh Gloria,
You know how this will end
You will leave me on a midnight train
Bound for no man’s land”

Yeah, they all came to dance with her
That pretty little lady with the blue dress on
Black hair curling round her neck
But the night was wearing on
I said,” Gloria, oh Gloria
You know how this will end
You’re gonna leave them on a midnight train
Bound for no man’s land”
