I Used To Own This Train

A G A A G A I almost broke my arm when I caught this movin' train G A Now I'm a-layin' in a cattle-car in agonizing pain D E D E My clothes are all ragged and I ain't got a dime in change A G A Would you believe if I told you I used to own this train A G A I once owned everything from the engine to caboos G A And every foot of railroad track from New York to Saint Lew D E D E I worked and strained and saved in the sleet and the snow and the rain A G A I gave ten years of sweat and blood up to fend for my train D A One day I met a pretty girl ridin' on my train D E We loved and laughed then I wound up a sittin' in a poker game A G A She just kept on kissin' on me and a-lookin' at my hand G A A7 Sure did shock me when she left with the tall, dark, gamblin' man D E D E I first lost all my money, then my watch and chain A G A Would you believe I sat right there and lost my whole darn train A G A You ask me why I'm holdin' to this old sleek case so tight G A A7 When the train slows down you'd better jump 'cause I've got dynamite D E D E I'ma gonna blow this train so high it'll never come down again A G A Would you believe if I told you I used to own this train A G A Would you believe if I told you I used to own this train? A G A Would you believe if I told you I used to own this train...(fades)
