Well, I'm just a half mile from the railroad track
Where the ties all point to you.
I'm hoping that I can get you away
Before your daddy misses you.
I've been listening to the wind
As it goes sailing through the trees
And I'm hoping that we can fly just as smoothly.
My Darling Christina, I'm coming for you,
Stealing you away late at night.
I'll be tapping at your window at the darkest hour
And we will fly away,
Yes, we will fly away.
I threw a silver half-dollar in the wishing well
And I heard the ripples ring.
I got my palm and my tea leaves read
And they both said the same thing.
Well, I've taken these precautions because
I may only have one try
To save you from your old dragon daddy.
My Darling Christina, I'm coming for you,
Stealing you away late at night.
I'll be tapping at your window at the darkest hour
And we will fly away,
Yes, we will fly away.
