[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I went down to the railroad yard,
[G]watch that train come by,
Knew the train would roll that day,
[D]but I did not know what time.

[Verse 2]
I did not know what time, boys, did not know what time.
[G]
Knew the train would [D]roll that day but
I [A]did not know what [D]time.

[Verse 3]
Good [D]morning Mister Railroad Man,
what [G]time does your train roll [D]by?
[G]Nine- sixteen and [D]two- forty- four,
[A]twenty- five minutes 'til [D]five.

[Verse 4]
At [D]nine- sixteen, two- forty- four,
[G]twenty- five minutes 'til [D]five.
[G]Thank you Mister [D]Railroad Man,
I want to [A]watch your train roll [D]by.

[Verse 5]
[D]Standing on the platform,
[G]smoking a big ci[D]gar,
[G]Waitin' for [D]some old freight train that
[A]carries an empty [D]car.

[Verse 6]
[D]I rode her down to Danville Town,
got [G]stuck on a Danville [D]girl,
[G]Bet your life she was [D]a pearl, she
[A]wore that [E]Danville [A]curl.

[Verse 7]
She [D]wore her hat on the back of her
head like [G]high- tone people all [D]do,
[G]Very next train come [D]down that track,
I [A]bid that girl adieu.
[D]

[Verse 8]
I bid that girl adieu,
poor boys, I bid that girl adieu,
The very next [G]train come down that [D]track,
I [G]bid that [D]gir[A]l[D]
[G]adieu.
