Tonart: E major•
Intro 1
E
A
Verse 1
A
In the Dodge City yards
of the Santa Fe
E
Stood a freight made up for the east
And the engineer with his oil and waste
A
Was groomin' the great iron beast
Verse 2
A
While ten cars back in the murky dust
D
A box- car door swung wide
E
And a hobo lifted his pal aboard
A
To start on his last long ride
Verse 3
D
A lantern swung and the
freight pulled out
A
The engine, it gathered speed
D
The engineer pulled the throttle wide
B
E
And clucked to his fiery steed
Verse 4
A
Ten cars back in the empty box
B
The flare of the match showed
A
Stark white and deathly still
Verse 5
A
As the train wheels clicked on
the couplin' joints
D
A song for the rambler's ear
E
The hobo talked to the still white form
His pal for many a year
A
Verse 6
For a mighty long time,
we've rambled, Jack
E
With the luck of men that roam
With the back door steps for a dining room
And the box- car for a home
A
Verse 7
We dodged the bulls on
A
And the cops on the Chesapeake
E
We traveled the Leadville narrow gauge
A
In the days of Cripple Creek
Verse 8
A
We drifted down through sunny Cal
E
On the rails of the old SP
And of all you had, through good and bad
A
A half always belong to me
Verse 9
A
You made me promise to you, Jack
E
If I lived and you cashed in
C
To take you back to the old churchyard
E
And bury you there with your kin
A
Verse 10
You seemed to know I
would keep my word
E
For you said that I was wild
Well, I'm keepin' my promise to you,
pal
'Cause I'm takin' you home tonight
A
Verse 11
I hadn't the money to send you there
E
So, I'm takin' you back on the fly
It's the decent way for a 'bo to go
Verse 12
A
I knew that fever had you, Jack
E
And that doctor just wouldn't come
He was too busy treatin' the wealthy folks
To doctor a worn out bum
A
Verse 13
As the train rolled over its
ribbon of steel
E
Straight through to the east, it sped
The engineer in his high cab seat
A
Kept his eye on the rails ahead
Verse 14
A
While ten cars back in the
empty box
E
For the days of old and his pal so cold
