The Ballad of the Soon Departed
[Verse 1]
I think that someone 'ought to come along to tell his girl that to straighten out her ways and means of life
I think that someone 'ought to tell her to her little face that that's the only way to pass the very night

She's being such a fool, she's breaking all the rules
It makes me sad
But I turn her little nose and I come and get me 'fore she can be bad

[Chorus 1]
Tomorrow will be too late
I'm gonna catch the two-ten freight
That girl, he never gonna know

So mister, tell her please
Ooh, before I leave
That girl, has got to change her way

[Verse 2]
You know I left before, but this time is for sure and I'll be sad
I'm gonna miss that girl
Or roar and howl, I will and I'll be sad
[Chorus 2]
Tomorrow will be too late
I'm gonna catch the two-ten freight
That girl, he never gonna know

So mister, tell her please
Ooh, before I leave
That girl, has got to change her way

[Outro]
Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late
Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late
Tomorrow will be too late, tomorrow will be too late
