One night so dark and stormy, when I was all a- lone

I thought I'd leave my troubles, and my only home

G       D          A     D
Waiting by the railroad, to catch a train and ride

 D             D7 G        D
I heard the train a comin?f, and as she passed me by
 G       D          A     D
I swung upon the boxcar, and waved my home good- bye

I'm on my pathway leading on, I know that I must go
  D           D7 G        D
And you will follow after, no one with you can be
    G          D           A   D
You'll cross the great di- vide of life, into e- terni- ty
