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 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 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 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 And watch them lonesome boxcars roll Em Yeah, I'm goin down to the railroad tracks C B7 Em Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
