CI lost all my money in a crooked poker game
Now I’m going home on this C7old freight train
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
I got the G7boxcar blues and Lord I may never get Cback
CWell I am so lonely I think I could die
These ain’t cinders they are C7tears in my eyes
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
I got the G7boxcar blues and Lord I may never get Cback
CI dream of my big baked biscuit in the pan
I dream of my woman with C7another man
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
I got the G7boxcar blues and Lord I may never get Cback
CWhen I get back home I’ll get down on my knees
I’ll beg to my woman to have a C7little mercy please
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
I got the G7boxcar blues and Lord I may never get Cback
CNow let me tell you brother it just ain’t so
There ain’t no easy life C7for a bored hobo
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
I got the G7boxcar blues and Lord I may never get Cback
CNo listen to brother and take my advice
Stay away from trains and C7them loaded dice
I got the Fboxcar blues shuffle on down the Ctracks
You’ll get the G7boxcar blues and Lord you may never get Cback
You’ll get the G7boxcar blues and Lord you may never get Cback
