The Train That Took My Girl From Town

C
Where was you when the train left town?
                                   G
I’s standin’ on the corner with my head hangin’ down
C
If I had a gun, I’d let hammer down
                                       G
Lord I’d shoot that train that took my girl from town
C         G          F          C
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
C    G         C
Hey, hey, hey, hey

C
Well there goes the train that took my girl from town
                                G
If I knowed her number lord I’d flag her down
C
I wish to the lord that the train would wreck
                                  G
Kill that engineer and break that fireman’s neck
C         G          F          C
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
C    G         C
Hey, hey, hey, hey

C
Well its ashes to ashes and dust to dust
                             G
Can you show me a woman that man can trust
C
There goes my girl would someone bring her back
                             G
‘cause she’s got her hand in my money sack
C         G          F          C
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
C    G         C
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 4]
C
Well rations on the table and the coffees getting’ cold
                             G
And some dirty rounder stole my jelly role
C
Hello central, give me six-o-nine
                     G

C         G          F          C

Hey, hey, hey, hey
