I Gwish I was the brakeman On a Fhurtlin' fevered train AmCrashing a-headlong into the heartland Like a Ccannon in the rain With the Gbeating of the sleepers And the Fburnin' of the coal AmCounting the towns flashing by In a Cnight that's full of soul
Chorus: Fiddle Solo: x2 Verse 3:
Well I Gknow I will be loosened From Fbonds that hold me fast That the Amchains all hung around me Will Cfall away at last And Gon that fine and fateful day I will Ftake thee in my arms AmI will ride on the train I will Cbe the fisherman
Chorus: Repeat to end
