At first, I did not think it could be you But you're the only one who got off the train
So you must be my wife, Miss Annie Halsey? Yes, yes.
I guess I am your husband. Hello, I'm Harry Crane.
Mail order Annie, nevermind your cryin'. Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life.
Mail order Annie, can't you see I'm tryin' to tell you that I'm glad you're here?
You are the woman who's come to be my wife.
Y'know, you're not as pretty as I dreamed you'd be... But then again, I'm no handsome fancy Dan.
And out here, looks are really not important, no, no.
It's what's inside a woman when she's up against the land.
Mail order Annie, nevermind your cryin'. Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life
Mail order Annie, can't you see I'm tryin' to tell you that I'm glad you're here?
You are the woman who's come to by my wife.
You know it's not no easy life that you're enterin'. The winter wind comes whistlin' through the
cracks there in the sod. You know you'll never have too many neighbours.
There's you, and there's me, and there's God.
I'm just a dirt man from the North Dakota plains. You're one girl from the city who's been thrown
out on her own and I'm standing here not sure what to say
to you 'ceptin', "Mail order Annie, let's you and
me go home." Mail order Annie, nevermind your cryin'.
your tears are sweet rain in my empty life. Mail order Annie, can't you see I'm tryin'
to tell you that I'm glad you 're here? You are the woman who's come to be my wife.
