Key: C
Introduction:
G
My pocket book was empty
C G
My heart was full of pain
C G E
10,000 miles a-way from home
A D7
bumming a railroad train
G
standing on the platform
C G
smoking a cheap ci-gar
C G E
And listening for the next freight train
A D G
that carried an empty car
G
When I got off at Danville
C G
I got stuck on the Danville girl
C G E
You can bet your life she was out of sight
A D7
She wore those Danville pearls
G
Took me in her kitchen
C G
and treated me nice and kind
C G E
and she got me in the not-ion
A D G
of bumming all the time
Instrumental
G G7
Well she wore her hair on the back of her head
C G
like high tone people all do
C G E
But the very next train coming down the line
A D
I bid my girl adieu
G G7
I pulled my cap down over my eyes
C G
Walked down to the track
C G E
And caught the very next empty car
A D G
And never did look back
