 Em
 Well I gave all my money to the banker this month
 Am                          Em
 Now I got no more money to spend
 Em
 She smiled when she saw me comin' through that door
        C                          B7
 When I left she said come back again
 Em
 I watched them lonesome boxcar wheels 
 Am                              Em
 Turnin' down the tracks out of town
 Em
 And it's on that lonesome railroad track
           C      B7     Em   A7  Em A7
 I'm gonna lay my burden down
 Em
 I was raised on a farm the first years of my life
 Am                        Em
 Life was pretty good they say
 Em
 I'll probably live to be some ripe ol' age
    C                       B7
 If death'll stay out of my way
 Em
 This world can take my money and time
 Am                        Em
 But it sure can't take my soul
 Em
 I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
            C        B7      Em  A7   Em A7
 Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
 Em
 There's some big ol' Buicks at the Baptist church
 Am                         Em
 Cadilacs at the Church of Christ
 Em
 I parked my camel by an ol' haystack
         C                          B7
 I'll be lookin for that needle all night
 Em
 There ain't gonna be no radial tires
 Am                           Em
 Turnin' down the streets of gold
 Em
 I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
                C        B7      Em   A7   Em A7
 And watch them lonesome boxcars roll
 
 SOLO
 
 Em
 Now if you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train
 Am                      Em
 Beatin' out a beautiful tune
 Em
 If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
                C            B7
 Shinin' by the light of the moon
         Em
 If you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground
 Am                          Em
 I know you don't have to be told
 Em
 Why I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
                C        B7      Em   A7  Em A7
 And watch them lonesome boxcars roll
           Em
 Yeah, I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
            C        B7      Em
 Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
