(G) Well there?s a black train a rolling through the hills of Tennessee 
Taking my baby so far away from me 
Oh black (C) train, my baby?s on that black (G) train 
(D) Kiss me goodbye to the (C) lonesome whistle strain 
Then (D) disappear down the line, (C) on that black (G) train 
 
Said she didn?t know if she loved me anymore 
Needed some time away to know for sure 
Oh black train, my baby?s on that black train 
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain 
Then disappear down the line, on that black train 
 
Nobody knows just where my baby went 
Three lonely years oh and I ain?t seen her since 
Oh black train, my baby?s on that black train 
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain 
Then (D) disappear down the line, (C) on that black (D) train 
 
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain 
Then disappear down the line, on that black train 
Oh black train, oh oh oh
