Verse 1:
  G+G
My pocket book was empty
C majorC          G+G
My heart was full of pain
C majorC       G+G    E MajorE
10,000 miles a-way from home
A augmentedA          D7D7
 bumming a railroad train
G+G
 standing on the platform
C majorC         G+G
smoking a cheap ci-gar
  C majorC         G+G      E MajorE
And listening for the next freight train
   A augmentedA     D MajorD   G+G
that carried an empty car

Verse 2:
   G+G
When I got off at Danville
    C majorC          G+G
I got stuck on the Danville girl
    C majorC           G+G   E MajorE
You can bet your life she was out of sight
  A augmentedA          D7D7
She wore those Danville pearls
G+G
Took me in her kitchen
  C majorC          G+G
and treated me nice and kind
  C majorC         G+G  E MajorE
and she got me in the not-ion
  A augmentedA    D MajorD    G+G
of bumming all the time

Verse 5:
     G+G          G7G7
Well she wore her hair on the back of her head
   C majorC          G+G
like high tone people all do
    C majorC           G+G    E MajorE
But the very next train coming down the line
 A augmentedA      D MajorD
I bid my girl adieu
 G+G         G7G7
I pulled my cap down over my eyes
C majorC         G+G
Walked down to the track
  C majorC          G+G   E MajorE
And caught the very next empty car
  A augmentedA   D MajorD    G+G
And never did look back
