Verse 1:

Am
Well I'm walkin' down the track,

I got tears in my eyes
                                E7
Tryin' to read a letter from my home.
        Am
If that train runs me right,

I'll be home tomorrow night
                        E7            Am
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.


Refrain:

      E7                                 Am
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
      E7                            Am      G      Am    E7
And I wonder who’s my baby’s latest beau-uo-oh-eoh-eoh.


Verse 2:

Am
I will pawn you my wagon,

I will pawn you my team.
                                  E7
I’ll pawn you my watch and golden chain.
        Am
If that train runs me right,

I'll be home tomorrow night
                        E7            Am
'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.


Refrain:

      E7                                 Am
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.

Well if my woman tells me so,

I will railroad no more.

I’ll hang around her shanty all the time.

If that train runs me true,

Tomorrow night I’ll be holding you.

'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home.
