When the fall wind blows all the heat away
And the leaves pose for pictures at the end of the day
Put on a friendly sweater and roll in her arms
For now is the best time for Cindy's charms
Train stopped rolling 'bout 10 years ago
And my doors have been locked since I don't know
Well change brings tears in my part of town
But summer's finally over and Cindy's around
Chorus:
Summer's finally over and Cindy's around (2)
The ghost of coal miners walks through this town
And throw back a few when nobody's around
And dance to a fiddle that makes them cry
While all of 'em try to catch Cindy's eye
(chorus)
