verse 1: 

A 
Engine, Engine No. 9, coming down the railroad line 

                                   E7 
How much farther back did she get off? 


Old brown suitcase that she carried, I've looked for it everywhere it 

                                   A            E7 
Just ain't here among the rest and I'm a little upset Yes, tell me 
  
A 
Engine, Engine No. 9, coming down the railroad line 

A7                        D 
I know she got on in Baltimore 

                         
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance 

A                                 E7                            A 
But it sure do make a difference, I don't think she loves me anymore 



verse 2: 

A  
I warned her of the dangers, don't speak to strangers 

                          E7 
If by chance she find new romance, warmer lips to kiss her 


Arms to hold her tighter, stirring new fires inside her 

                          A                         E7 
How I wish that it was me instead of he that stands beside her 

A 
Engine, Engine No. 9, coming down the railroad line 

A7                        D 
I know she got on in Baltimore 


A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance 

A                                 E7                         A 
But it sure do make a difference, I don't think she loves me anymore 

    E7                            A     E7                            A 
No, I don't think she loves me anymore, I don't think she loves me anymore
