Bb F Bb
I had to bring that old grey mare of mine to town
Eb Cm Bb
I got us on the Emerald Flyer, westward bound
Gm F
To drive you would have been too far
Bb Cm
But the steam engine had a boxcar
Bb Eb F Bb C7 F
And Sam the engine driver put us underway
Bb F Bb
I noticed you'ld been walkin' sorely and a little lame
Eb Cm Bb
Doc Jensen says you'll never be quite the same
Gm F
But the old Doc treated you good
Bb Cm
And now he's fixed you like I said he would
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
Two days rest and you're all set to go
Bb Cm
My lady's waitin' for the train
Bb Cm
It's gonna take her home again
Bb Gm Cm Cm7 Bb
My lady's waitin' at the station for the afternoon train
F Gm
And even when the cold wind blows
F Bb
Fown the line she knows
Eb Bb
That in a little while you'll be feelin' as good as new
F Gm
Underneath a silvery moon
F Bb
You'll be grazin' soon
Eb F
Nobody ever owned a mare as fine as you
Bb F Bb
I know that you enjoy roaming underneath the summer sun
Eb Cm Bb
Your saddle's put away now that working days are done
Gm F
Free to roam across the plains
Bb Cm
There'll be a shelter here when it rains
Bb Eb F Bb C7 F
I'll brush that coat of yours until it shines
Bb F Bb
The whistle of the 909's blowin' through the hills
Eb Cm Bb
Moving closer through the fields and past the mills
Gm F
Soon I'll lead her up the ramp
Bb Cm
If she's impatient, she might stamp
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
But it won't be long until that homestead comes in view
Bb Cm
My lady's waitin' for the train
Bb Cm
It's gonna take her home again
