My Dsweetheart she had left me, D7I hGung my head and cDried
GWaiting by the Drailroad, to catch a Atrain and Dride
I Dheard the train a comin?f, D7and Gas she passed me Dby
I Gswung upon the Dboxcar, and waved my Ahome good- Dbye
DI'm a weary traveler, D7I'm Galways on the Dgo
I Gride that lonesome Drailroad train, to where I Ado not Dknow
