A
I went down to Nashville [
Rode that L&N
D
I'd seen that pretty gal standin' there
Dropped/brought my tongue down to my chin
               G
Cause she's so fine
               C
I was right on time

A
She took me down to 2nd street
She said "I'll be right back"
D
I waited there for seven weeks
Then got back on the track
              G
And now we're through
           C
And I'm so blue

[Chorus]
G          C
Oh no, the trouble that I'm in
F                         C
Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin
              Bb          B
And there's a long lonely road, boys
E
I'll be travellin'
A                                D
So long, tell my troubles to the wind

[Vers 2]

A
Way down south in Louisville
They showed me to the door
D
They hadn't seen a railroad bum
Since 1924
                  G
Its a rich folk's town
                    C
They don't need me 'round

A
The police came and got me
They took/dropped me way downtown
D
Guilty for this vagrancy
And now I'm prison bound Up on the
G                 C
hill In Louisville

[Chorus]
G          C
Oh no, the trouble that I'm in
F                         C
Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin
              Bb          B
And there's a long lonely road, boys
E
I'll be travellin'
A                                                 D
So long, tell my troubles to the wind

[Vers 3]

A
If you're ever in Birmingham
You know where I'll be found
D
Standin' in line at the CCC
Signin' my name down

              G                  C
On the dotted line Puttin' in my dime

A
So put away your whiskey boys
Throw down your gamblin' cards
D
Quit sellin' that corn liquor boys
And sleepin' in freight yards In every
G                    C
town They'll run you down

[Chorus]
G          C
Oh no, the trouble that I'm in
F                         C
Good times are over I got whiskers on my chin
              Bb          B
And there's a long lonely road, boys
E
I'll be travellin'
A                                D
So long, tell my troubles to the wind
