[Intro] 
D
[Verse]
DThere's a big black train I've been hearin' all my life
Every night at sundown I hCear it's lonesome Dcry
When I look through the screen door I see a rocking chair
My mama's sitting in it thinking 'bCout that world out there
[Chorus]
She wGants to go oCver that mountDain to Gsee what's Aon the other siDde
She said "I wGant to go oCver that mounDtain bBmefore the dAay that I dDie"
[Verse]
DShe's never set foot out of this poor valley holler
But she talks about her dreams of Csome other way of lDife
87 years of living and never had much of anything
Is it asking too much to see a Cdamned old diesel trDain
[Chorus]
She wGants to go oCver that mountDain to Gsee what's Aon the other siDde
She said "I wGant to go oCver that mounDtain bBmefore the dAay that I dDie"
[Verse]
D20 years ago today my daddy left this holler
He said "I'll be coming baCck tomorrow nDight"
I remember the sound of his boot heels in the gravel
Well he ain't been back since and he Cnever said goDodbye
[Chorus]
She wGants to go oCver that mountDain to Gsee what's Aon the other siDde
She said "I wGant to go oCver that mounDtain bBmefore the dAay that I dDie"
[Outro]
BmBefore the Aday that I dDie
