Capo 1
[Verse 1]
I'm a-Amwalking down the track, I've got tears in my eyes,
I'm tryin' to read a letter from my home;
If that train runs right, I'll be Dmhome tomorrow night,
'Cause I'm nine hundred E7miles from my Amhome.
Dm   E7   Am(Bass walk E-G- Ax2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
[Verse 2]
I will Ampawn you my watch, I will pawn you my chain,
I'll pawn you my gold watch and my chain;
If that train runs right, I'll be Dmhome tomorrow night,
'Cause I'm nine hundred E7miles from my Amhome.
Dm   E7   Am(Bass walk E-G- Ax2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
[Verse 3]
The Amtrain I ride on is a hundred coaches long.
You can hear her whistle blow a hundred miles;
If that train runs right, I'll be Dmhome tomorrow night,
'Cause I'm nine hundred E7miles from my Amhome.
Dm   E7   Am(Bass walk E-G- Ax2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
[Verse 4]
If my Amwoman tells me so then I'll railroad no more.
But I'll sidetrack my train and go home.
If that wheeler runs right, I'll be Dmhome tomorrow night,
'Cause I'm nine hundred E7miles from my Amhome.
Dm   E7   Am(Bass walk E-G- Ax2)
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
