Verse 1:
G+G C majorC
Just a mile west of the water tank on a cold November day
C majorC G+G D7D7
In a cold and lonesome boxcar a dyin' hobo lay
G+G C majorC
His pal sat there before him with a low and drooping head
G+G D7D7 G+G
Listenin' to the last words his dyin' buddy said.
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
Goodbye old pardner hobo I hate to say goodbye
C majorC G+G D7D7
But I hear my train a-comin' and I know she's a-getting nigh
G+G C majorC
Gonna tell that old conductor just where I want to stop
G+G D7D7 G+G
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
Verse 3:
G+G C majorC
We rode the rods together, we've rambled all around
C majorC G+G D7D7
In ev'ry kind of weather, we slept out on the ground
G+G C majorC
Oh, pardner don't you miss that train that always makes the stop
G+G D7D7 G+G
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.

G+G C majorC
Would you tell my girl in Danville that she need not to worry at all
C majorC G+G D7D7
I'm a-goin' to that country where I won't have to work a-tall
G+G C majorC
No I will not have to work there nor even change my socks
G+G D7D7 G+G
And the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.

G+G C majorC
I'm a-goin' to that better place where ever'thing is right

Where the handouts grow on bushes and they sleep out ever' night

Won't have to wash my overhauls nor even change my socks
