[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I ride on a mail train,
baby, can't buy a thrill
Well, I been up all night leanin'
on the windowsill
Well, if I die on [C]top of the [D]hill
And [C]if I don't [G]make it,

[Interlude 1]
you know my baby will
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Don't the [G]moon look good, mama,
shinin' through the trees
Don't the brakemen look good, mama,
flaggin' down the "Double- E"
Don't the sun look good
goin' [C]down over the [D]sea
But don't [G]my gal look fine when she's comin'

[Interlude 2]
after me
[G][C]
[G][C][D][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 3]
Now, [G]the wintertime is comin',
the windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody but I
could not get across
Well, I want to be your lover, baby,
I [C]don't want to be your [D]boss
Don't [G]say I never warned you when your

[Outro 1]
train gets lost
[G][C][G]
