[Verse 1]
CCome along, my dC7ear,
the tiFme is growin' nCear
We'll have to wAmalk down where the fiDeld
is overgrGown G7
ConsuCmption has claimed his lC7ife
and we dFare not miss the siCght
Of the tAmrain carrying JiGmmie Rodgers hCome
[Verse 2]
CWell, we had some hC7ard times
these lFast few yCears
Lost the faAmrm, almost lDost
our spirits, tGoo G7
Yeah, but iCt's the strangest thiC7ng;
when we heaFrd that man sCing
Oh, we kAmnew somehGow we'd make it thrCough
[Chorus]
I can heFar that whistle bF7low;
that old trCain is rollin' slow
Sounds like it's crDyin' for the siD7ngin' brakeman, tGoo G7
Back to the suCnny south he'll C7go,
and he'll nFever roam no mCore
Here's the trAmain, oh hold me clGose, oh sweetheart Cdo

[Verse 3]
Come heCre my little soC7n
and lFet me hold you Cup
I want you Amto remember this dDay
when you're grGown G7
How your mCama and your dC7ad
were so prFoud and so sCad
Watchin' the trAmain carrying JiGmmie Rodgers hCome
[Chorus]
I can heFar that whistle bF7low;
that old trCain is rollin' slow
Sounds like it's crDyin' for the siD7ngin' brakeman, tGoo G7
Back to the suCnny south he'll C7go,
and he'll nFever roam no mCore
Here's the trAmain, oh hold me clGose, oh sweetheart Cdo
