Win My Train Fire Home
Robert Plant & Justin Adams Lyrics

If I ever get lucky mamma
If luck ever befalls me, dear mother

Win my train fare home
Enable me to afford a train ticket to return home

If I ever get lucky babe
In the case of my good fortune, my darling

I'm goin' back to the border
I will return to the region where I am best known

Where i'm better known
Where people are more familiar with me and my ways

Oh your calf is hungry mamma
Your young cow requires sustenance, dear mother

Hey baby i believe he needs the sun
I think the young cow needs to bask in the sunlight, my love

Oh your calf is hungry babe
Your baby cow requires sustenance, my dear

Mamma i believe he needs the sun
Dear mother, I believe the calf needs some sunshine to thrive

Oh your milk it's turning blue
Your milk supply is not optimal, and it may be spoiling

I believe he's out of luck
The calf may not have his required nourishment, which is unlucky

You know you got me crawling
You have left me emotionally vulnerable and crawling on my hands and knees

And the grass grows very high
The situation is dire and the obstacles are many

I'm just gonna keep on crawling baby
I will persevere despite the challenges and crawl forward

Until the day I die
I am committed to this course of action till the end of my life

Crawl up to your window
I will drag myself up to your window to seek an audience with you

Crawl up to your door
I am willing to approach your doorstep, crawling all the way

Crawl anywhere you want now babe
I will crawl wherever you require me to, my love

I'm gon' crawl across your floor
I will come to you, crawling across your floor

Well that's all right mamma
Dear mother, it is acceptable

Baby that's all right for you
My dear, that may be acceptable for you

Oh that's all right babe
My love, it is fine

Oh mamma that's all right for you
Dear mother, you may find it alright

Keepin' low down dirty
It is necessary to live life in a humble and often disreputable way

Any old way you do
It does not matter how one goes about living humbly

You know you got me crawlin' now baby
My dear, you have brought me to the state of crawling on my belly

want to crawl into your window babe
I desire to climb into your window by any means necessary

Crawl into your door
I am willing to enter through your door, crawling if I must

I'll anyway you want now baby
I will do anything you ask, my love

Gonna crawl across your floor
I will crawl towards you, even across the entire length of your floor
