By a lonel^Gy railroad station A d^Cog sits patient^Gly

And as each train rolls down the track

He ^Dwatches eagerly But th^Ge one that he is waiting for Does n^Cot come off the tr^Gain And wh^Cen the crowds have go^Gne their way He d^Drops his head ag^Gain

[Chorus]

Cause he^C doesn't know his ma^Gster lay On the b^Cattle field to d^Gie He di^Cdn't hear the sol^Gdier say R^Dusty it's goo^Gdbye

It's^G many months now since the day He s^Caw his master g^Go

A figure clad in khaki

Is o^Dne he'll always know But the^G lonely dog keeps waiting For ea^Cch long days the sa^Gme He lon^Cgs to see his mas^Gters face And he^Dar him call his n^Game

[Chorus]

R^Gusty he'll not see again The p^Cal he's waiting f^Gor

Their happy days together

Go^Dne forever more The^G station master sees him there And kn^Cows why he's al^Gone Alt^Chough he can't rep^Glace his lost He tr^Deats him as his o^Gwn
