Well, I ride on a mailtrain, babe,
  5    5 -4   4
Can't buy a thrill.
 5      5   4   5   5    4     4 
Well, I've been up all night, babe,
 5  5   5   5   5 -4   4 
Leanin' on the window sill.
 6     6 6  6
Well, if I die
-5 -5  -5 -5   6
On top of the hill
-5  5  5   5    5   4 
And if I don't make it,
 5   5   5  5 -4   4
You know my baby will.

Don't the moon look good, mama,
 5  5      5    -4   4
Shinin' through the trees?
 5     5   4   5    5    4    4 4
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
  5   5   5    5    5 -4   4 
Flagging down the "Double E"?
 6     6   6    6   6
Don't the sun look good
-5 -5  -5   -5  -5   6
Goin' down over the sea?
 -5   5   5   5    4
Don't my gal look fine
 5    5     5 -4   5 -4 4
When she's comin' after me?

Now the wintertime is coming,
 5   5   5   5    5     -4   4
The windows are filled with frost.
5  5   4   5   5 4  4 4
I went to tell everybody,
 5  5   5    5   5  -4  4 
But I could not get across.
 6    6  6 6  6   6    6 6     6
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
-5 -5   -5 -5  -5  -5   6
I don't wanna be your boss.
 -5   5   5  5  5   5    4
Don't say I never warned you
 5    5     5    -4    4
When your train gets lost.
