Verse 1:

A minorAm
Well I'm walkin' down the track,

I got tears in my eyes
                                E7E7
Tryin' to read a letter from my home.
        A minorAm
If that train runs me right,

I'll be home tomorrow night
                        E7E7            A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.


Refrain:

      E7E7                                 A minorAm
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
      E7E7                            A minorAm      G+G      A minorAm    E7E7
And I wonder who’s my baby’s latest beau-uo-oh-eoh-eoh.


Verse 2:

A minorAm
I will pawn you my wagon,

I will pawn you my team.
                                  E7E7
I’ll pawn you my watch and golden chain.
        A minorAm
If that train runs me right,

I'll be home tomorrow night
                        E7E7            A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.

Refrain:

      E7E7                                 A minorAm
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

A minorAm
Well if my woman tells me so,

I will railroad no more.
                                    E7E7
I’ll hang around her shanty all the time.
        A minorAm
If that train runs me true,

Tomorrow night I’ll be holding you.
                        E7E7            A minorAm
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.

Verse 4:

A minorAm
Now the train that I ride on,

Is a hundred coaches long.
   E7E7
You can hear her whistle blow a hundred miles.
         A minorAm
If that train runs me right,

I'll be home tomorrow night
