[Verse 1]
AI don't want no aggravation
When my train has left the station
If you are tDhere or not I may not even Aknow
Have a round and rC#7emember
Things we dDid that weren't so tAender
Let the train blow the wE7histle when I Ago
[Verse 2]
AOn my old guitar sell tickets
So someone can finally pick it
And tell the gDirls down at the Ritz I said Ahello
Tell the gossipers and lC#7iars I will Dsee them in the fAire
Let the train blow the wE7histle when I Ago
[Chorus]
Let her Dblow, let her Ablow
Long and loud and hard and happy let her E7blow
No reAgrets, all my C#7debts will be Dpaid when I get lAaid
Let her blow, let her E7blow, let her Ablow
[Verse 3]
AYou’ll be left without excuses
For the evils and abuses
Down Dto today from years and years Aago
And have yourself another C#7toke from my Dbasket full of Asmoke
And let the train blow the E7whistle when I Ago
[Chorus]
Let her Dblow, let her Ablow
Long and loud and hard and happy let her E7blow
No reAgrets, all my C#7debts will be Dpaid when I get lAaid
Let her blow, let her E7blow, let her Ablow
