Verse: 1 
F 
I went down to the railroad yard 
Bb                      F 
To watch the train roll by 
Bb                     F 
Knew that train would roll that day 
       C                 F 
But I did not know what time. 

F 
I did not know what time, boys 
Bb                 F 
Did not know what time 
Bb                    F 
Knew the train would roll that day 
       C                 F 
But I did not know what time.

Interlude: F Bb F Bb F C F 

Verse: 3 
F 
Standing on the platform, 
  Bb           F 
Smoking a big cigar, 
  Bb              F 
Waitin' for some old freight train 
       C               F 
that carries an empty car. 

F 
I rode her down to Danville town, 
     Bb                  F 
got stuck on a Danville girl, 
Bb                 F 
Bet your life she was a pearl, 
     C                  F 
she wore that Danville curl. 

     F 
She wore her hat on the back of her head 
Bb                        F 
like high tone people all do, 
Bb                    F 
Very next train come down that track, 
   C            F 
I bid that gal adieu.
