Em D D/A D D/A I’m going away my baby, C B7 Em I’m gonna leave you pretty gal For a train passed by while you lay sleeping I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall I once had a love in old Kentucky I once had a love in sunny Tennessee But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness Now I’m here as lonely as I can be Chorus City women bring you grief and sorrow Country girls are as sweet as they can be City women are as cold as they are shallow But a country girl’s love is as deep as the deep blue sea Chorus Oh when I die and go to heaven That’ll be tha last train ride I’ll ever see They’ll put a silver spike upon my gravestone And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree Tabbed by ABond
