CWell I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who C7found the time to Fwrite
To her lonesome boy Fsomewher's in the Cnight
She Fsent me a railroad Fticket too
To make me to her lovin' Carms
And the big steel Amrail gonna carry me G7home
To the one I Clove Em Am G7
Refrain: FOoh Emooh Amooh Ci hi hi
FOoh Emooh Amooh G7ooh Cooh
Well I bin out here man long days
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I bin stood up, I bin shock down
I bin dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home
To the one I love
Refrain:
Well I bin up tight nost every night
Walkin' around the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
My old car; she done broke down
'Cause I drove it into the ground
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home
To the one I love
Refrain:
Well look over yonder across the plain
The big drive wheels a-poundin' along the ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
Now I aint' had a home cooked meal
And Lord I need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home
To the one I love
Refrain:
Now here I am with my hat in my hand
Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
I went in town for one last round
And I gambled my ticket away
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home
To the one I love
Refrain:
