[F]
Oh, now I believe it.
I hear that train comin',
Scrollin' around the bend.
I haven't seen my baby.
I don't know [Bb] when I'm stuck
Keep holdin' prison.
Can't keep drag [F] draggin' it on.
[C] But the train keeps a [Bb]-movin'.
I'm not sad [F] at all.
Well, I bet there's rich folks down here
In a big old fancy car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee.
And he's smokin' in my fancy car.
[Bb] I know I had it comin'.
I know I could never [F] be free.
[C] Lord, I hear the lonesome [Bb] whisper.
[F] No, I heard him talk.
He tells me,
Yeah, I'm workin' at a job.

I [Bb] ain't talkin' old St.
Chris.
That's where we ought [F] to be.
I'm out of here.
And [C] we left that lonesome [Fm] whisper.

Work with it one [Fm] more time, honey.
Get down on it.
