        Well i woke up this morning it was drizzling rain 

        Around the curve called a passenger train 

        I heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan 

        Jimmy he's dead it's been a long time gone 
                          G  
        Been a long time gone 
                     D 
        A long time gone 


      D  
        If you want to get to heaven got to die 

        You got to put on your coat and tie 

        Want to get the rabbit out of the log 
         
        Gotta make a commotion like a dog 
                   G 
        Like a dog 
                   D 
        Like a dog
