[Intro]
A G A
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
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)
