In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot, on a barstool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over, I sat down and asked her the name

In the mirror I saw him, and closely watched him, I thought how he looked out of place
he came to the woman who sat there beside me, he had a strange look on his face
the big hand were callused, he looked like a mountain, for a minute I thought I was dead
be he started shakin˜, his big heart was breakin˜, he turned to the woman and said:
