Twelve more miles
to Tucumcari
I've been hurrying there
To the
gal I'm gonna marry
With the yellowest
hair

{Left right march along
I've just
gotta get home} (just gotta get home)
Ten more
miles to Tucumcari
Then I'll never more
roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get
home)

Eight more miles to
Tucumcari
It's the fourth of July
Been
three years in January
Since I kissed her
goodbye

{Left right march along
I've
just gotta get home} (just gotta get home)
Six
more miles to Tucumcari
Then I'll never more
roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get
home)

Four more miles to Tucumcari
Not
much further to go
Got no time to waste or
tarry
She'll be waitin' I know

{Left
right march along
I've just gotta get home}
(just gotta get home)
Two more miles to
Tucumcari
Then I'll never more
roam
(Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get
home)

Here I am in Tucumcari
Found my
yellow-haired gal
Just in time to see her
marry
With my very best pal

{Left right
march along
Guess I better be gone} (I better
be gone)
A thousand miles from
Tucumcari
I'll be rambling on
(Tucumcari,
Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on)

A hundred
miles from Tucumcari
Down in Santa Fe
Fell
in love with a girl named Mary
Gee I'm happy
today

{No more marching now
Found my
honeycomb} (found my honeycomb)
I've forgotten
Tucumcari
No more reason to roam
(Tucumcari,
Tucumcari)
I've forgotten Tucumcari
No more
reason to roooaaaammmmm
