[Verse 1]
GCome and gather all around me, Glisten to my tale of woe,
Dgot some good advice to give you, Dlots of things you oughta know.
GTake a tip from one who's travelled and Gnever stopped a-ramblin' 'round
'cause Conce you get the roamin' fever, you Gnever want to settle down, Emboy,
you Dnever want to settle Gdown.
[Verse 2]
I Gmet a little gal in Frisco and I Gasked her to be my wife,
Dtold her I was tired of roamin', Dgoin' to settle down for life.
GThen I heard the whistle blowin' and I Gknew it was the Red Ball Train
and I Cleft that gal beside the railroad and Gnever saw that gal again, Emboy,
I Dnever saw that gal aGgain.
[Bridge]
C Saw that gal again, I Gnever saw that gal again,
Gleft that gal beside the railrEmoad, I Dnever saw that gal aGgain.

[Verse 3]
GTravelled all over the country, I've Gtravelled everywhere,
Dbeen on every branch line railroad, I Dnever paid a nickel fare.
I Gbeen from Maine to Californy, from GCanada to Mexico,
and I Cnever tried to save no money and Gnow I got no place to go, Emboy,
Dnow I got no place to Ggo.
[Verse 4]
GListen to a boomer's story, pay atGtention to what I say:
I Dhear another train a-comin', Dguess I'll be on my way.
GIf you wanna do me a favor Gwhen I lay me down and die:
just Cdig my grave beside the railroad, so I Gcan hear the trains go by, Emboys,
so DI can hear the trains go Gby.
[Outro]
C Hear the trains go, GI can hear the trains go by,
just Gdig my grave beside the railEmroad, so DI can hear the trains go Gby.
