The Railroad Boy

           Am
She went upstairs to make her bed
            F                  Am
And not one word to her mother said

Her mother, she went upstairs too
                 C                          Am
Said, "Daughter, daughter, what's troubling you?"


[Verse 2]

"Oh, mother, mother, I cannot tell
              F                  Am
That railroad boy that I love so well

He courted me, my life away
             C                Am
And now with me, he no longer stays
