Csomeone's waving
Csomeone's counting
CsomeonGe's leaving 
Cthere's fifty dollars on this pony
chase hGim down these tracks
Cwell won't nobody take my business
i'll tGeach you how to come back 
Di saw oCne hundGred miles of steel over wood and let her go
Di filled my poCckets Gup with coal black with mud and let her go 
i'll throw my hat off when i beat you
find it when you're gone 
there's straw and cotton around the station
i'll make myself a new one 
i held a silver dollar tight inside my fist and let you go
i've counted all the things i've lost that point to this and let you go 
Cthe whistle's sounding
Cyou are leaving
Ci am counting

i'll teach you how to come back

D C G

i saw one hundred miles of steel over wood and let her go

D C G

i filled my pockets up with coal black with mud and let her go

i'll throw my hat off when i beat you

find it when you're gone

there's straw and cotton around the station

i'll make myself a new one

i've counted all the things i've lost that point to this and let you go

the whistle's sounding

you are leaving

i am counting
