Intro: Am  G  C  D  Am  Em  (2x)  Am 

                       G 
Hark and listen to the whistle of the train 
                 G*             Am 
Pulling from the station to the land of the golden grain 
                         C                      F 
When we return again our friends will drink our health 
               Am 
'Cause there's no place here where there ain't such cheer  
       G                  D 
As the land of the golden hell 


INTERLUDE: Am  G  C  D  Am  Em  Am 


                                G 
Molly dear, I greatly fear that soon I will be gone 
            G*                            Am 
I am going away on a harvest train to the far off Saskatchewan 
                               C                                F 
To reap the grain on a western plain, where the buffalo used to roam 
         Am                                      
And I'll leave you alone when you're arriving home 
   G               D 
To my dear calling boys 


INTERLUDE: Am  G  C  D  Am  Em  Am 


                                   G 
Molly dear, when night is near and I am far away 
                         G*               Am 
With loving heart you'll do your part and for me you will pray 
                                                C                F 
When the kids are fed they go to bed and you'll stand out on the lawn 
    Am                                      
You won't even sigh for your absent boy 
       G            D 
In the far Saskatchewan, yeah
