[Eb]
One day the train was passing, [Ab] I thought he'd come [Eb] and gone by,
He looked this whole world over, under God's [Bb] blue sky,
[Eb] My darling stood there weeping, [Ab] as I was [Eb] looking by,
I kissed my baby crying, and [Bb] the smoke allowed [Eb] me try,
Goodbye so long, [Ab] there's something down the track that's [Eb] calling me,
Goodbye so long, I guess that's just the way I'll [Bb] always be,
[Eb] I'll always be a [Ab] drifter, but I'll be drifting [Eb] by,
Be where I left you crying, and [Bb] the smoke allowed [Eb] me try,
I like to keep on going, [Ab] it helps me when [Eb] I'm blue,
I get the urge to travel, that's all I'm going [Bb] to do,
I [Eb] know I just can't settle down, [Ab] because I like to [Eb] roll,
And when I hear that whistle [Bb] blow, I've got to move [Eb] along,
Goodbye so long, [Ab] I hate to leave you, but [Eb] I've got to go,
Goodbye so long, it's coming by, just hear [Bb] that whistle blow,
[Cm] It'll be here any minute, [Ab] here waving I'll [Eb] look by,
Be where I left you crying, and [Bb] the smoke allowed [Eb] me try,
I know my baby loves me, [Ab] I love my baby [Eb] too,
She don't understand me, when I'm [Bb] feeling blue,
[Eb] And when I hear that whistle blow, [Ab] don't try to hold [Eb] me,
I'd only leave you crying, [Bb] and the smoke [Eb] allowed me try,
Goodbye so [Ab] long, I hate to leave you, but I've [Eb] got to go,
Goodbye so long, it's coming by, just hear that [Bb] whistle blow,
[Eb] It'll be here any [Ab] minute, here waving [Eb] I'll look by,
Be where I left you crying, and the [Bb] smoke [Eb] allowed me try,
One day the train was passing, [Ab] I thought he'd come [Eb] and gone by,
He looked this whole world over, under God's [Bb] blue sky,
[Eb] My darling stood there weeping, [Ab] as I was [Eb] looking by,
I kissed my baby crying, and [Bb] the smoke allowed [Eb] me try,
Goodbye so long, [Ab] there's something down the track that's [Eb] calling me,
