Well I got my mail in late last night a letter from a girl who found the time to write
F C
To her lonesome boy
some wheres in the night.
F C
She sent me a railway ticket to take me to her lovin arms
G C
and the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
C Em7 Am G C Em7 Am G
Well I’ve been out here many long days, haven’t found a place I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I’ve been stood up, I’ve been shook down
I’ve been dragged into the sand,
but the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
F Em Am C F Em Am G C
Ooo Ooo Ooo Boo Hoo Hoo Boo Hoo Hoo Ooo Ooo Ooo
Well I’ve been up tight most every
night, walking along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
My good old car she done broke down
cause I drove it into the ground
But the Big Steel Rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I look over yonder across the plain, The big drive wheels a pounding along the ground
I’m gonna get on board and I’ll be homeward bound
Now I ain’t had a home cooked meal and lord knows I need one now
And the Big Steel Rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
F Em Am C F Em Am G C
Ooo Ooo Ooo Boo Hoo Hoo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
Now here I am with my hat in my hand, standing on the broad highway, now will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who misted the train last night.
I went in town for one last round, and someone stool my ticket away
Now the Big Steel Rail won’t carry me home to the one I love
F Em Am C F Em Am G C
Ooo Ooo Ooo Boo Hoo Hoo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
F Em Am C F Em Am G C
Ooo Ooo Ooo Boo Hoo Hoo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
