Well I've got to move on now, to Gemini Junction,

and that clock full of good times awaiting me there.

Lord, I hope that I find it this side of the Jordon,

and if I don't - well, it won't be like I didn't care.


There'll be mountains to pass full of many a hazard,

where riders lose heart and their horses go lame;

there'll be rivers to cross and a terrible desert,

but I know where to go. It's the way that I came.


There's a man in the moon over Gemini Junction

And the Mexicans call him Primero Ladron.

What that means, I believe, is the thief who's forgiven:

I should think that he'll wink when he see I've come home.



I've dreamt of that man with the stars all around him,

I've dreamt of a dawn that would quicken the dead,

But I've dreamt far too long - it's high time I found them,

Or went bust. So there's just one more thing to be said:



I'd admire to see you in Gemini Junction

I'll sent you a letter, if I ever get there.

It'll say "what a day for my love to come calling
Give my best to the rest, I'm enclosing your fare."
