GI've seen the 'gators and the skeeters
Down in the swamps of LouisiD7an
I've seen the Painted Desert
I've traveled across Texas burning Gsand
I've seen the great Rocky Mountains
That reach up where the G7mighty eagle Csoars
You know D7big or small I've seen it all
From a boxcar Gdoor
I've seen those wheat fields out in Kansas
In Iowa I've watched the tall corn D7grow
Seen 'em picking fruit in Florida
Watched 'em digging taters up in IdaGho
I've seen the factories in Detroit
I've seen a small G7country general Cstore
And D7big or small I've seen it all
From a boxcar Gdoor
I've seen the coal mines in Kentucky
I've seen the steel mills in BirmingD7ham
I've seen the Appalachians seen the Hoover
And I've seen every other Gdam
I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah
I've heard the mighty G7Ni-agra Croar
Yeah D7big or small I've seen it all
From a boxcar Gdoor
I've seen the great Potomac River
The wide Missouri and the O-hi-D7o
I've seen the Colorado
I've watched the mighty Mississippi Gflow
I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean
I've seen California's G7golden Cshore
You know D7big or small I've seen it all
From a boxcar Gdoor
I've seen the black man in the ghettos
On the reservation I've watched the NavaD7jo
I've seen the migrant workers
In the fields from Maine down to MexiGco
I've seen the rich man in his penthouse
The shanties and the G7shacks of the Cpoor
Yeah D7big or small I've seen it all
From a boxcar Gdoor
But my travels are not over
There's lots more that I've just gotta D7see
Every day's a new adventure
And I thank the Lord for letting me be Gfree
When I hop aboard a boxcar
And hear that mighty G7engine start to Croar
You know D7big or small I'll see you all
From a boxcar Gdoor
Yeah D7big or small I'll see you all from a boxcar Gdoor

I've seen the 'gators and the skeeters

Down in the swamps of Louisian

I've seen the Painted Desert

I've traveled across Texas burning sand

I've seen the great Rocky Mountains

G7 C

That reach up where the mighty eagle soars

You know big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar door

I've seen those wheat fields out in Kansas

In Iowa I've watched the tall corn grow

Seen 'em picking fruit in Florida

Watched 'em digging taters up in Idaho

I've seen the factories in Detroit

G7 C

I've seen a small country general store

And big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar door

I've seen the coal mines in Kentucky

I've seen the steel mills in Birmingham

I've seen the Appalachians seen the Hoover

And I've seen every other dam

I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah

G7 C

I've heard the mighty Ni-agra roar

Yeah big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar door

I've seen the great Potomac River

The wide Missouri and the O-hi-o

I've seen the Colorado

I've watched the mighty Mississippi flow

I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean

G7 C

I've seen California's golden shore

You know big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar door

I've seen the black man in the ghettos

On the reservation I've watched the Navajo

I've seen the migrant workers

In the fields from Maine down to Mexico

I've seen the rich man in his penthouse

G7 C

The shanties and the shacks of the poor

Yeah big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar door

But my travels are not over

There's lots more that I've just gotta see

Every day's a new adventure

And I thank the Lord for letting me be free

When I hop aboard a boxcar

G7 C

And hear that mighty engine start to roar

You know big or small I'll see you all

From a boxcar door

D7 G

Yeah big or small I'll see you all from a boxcar door
