A
My dusty feet have kicked the stones
      G6
Between a thousand railroad ties
         F#7
From Boston down to New Orleans
  Bm             E
I left the girls a cryin'

      A
But I've still got some ramblin' in me
G6
Got some miles left on my shoes
       F#7
And before I take a job again
Bm                    E
I'll have to be low-down
A
Cryin' the blues

[Chorus]
     A                     D            A
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
                         D              E
If I miss the train I'll have to stay around
       A             D                  E    A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
        D              E              A
I'll be off to another day in another town

[Verse]
    A
You say you'd like to ramble with me
G6
This ain't no life for a girl
F#7                            Bm          E
Too many people out to get you in a hobo's world

       A
And it gets mighty cold when you're on the road
         G6
'Cause a boxcar never was a home
    F#7
But you could join me if you want
    Bm                      E
I'm gettin' mighty tired of bein' alone

[Chorus]
     A                     D            A
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
                           D       E
If we miss the train we'll have to stay around
       A             D                  E    A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
         D              E              A
We'll be off to another day in another town

[Whistle solo, verse]

[Chorus]
       A             D                  E    A
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
         D              E              A
We'll be off to another day in another town (2x)
