C D G G
[Chorus]
C D G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
C D G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
C D G G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
C D G
The one I loved has turned me down
[Verse 1]
C D G
I'm gonna catch me a freight train
C D G
Lord I'm leaving this lonesome town
C D G G7
The one I loved and gave my heart to
C D G
For someone else she turned me down
[Chorus]
C D G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
C D G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
C D G G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
C D G
The one I loved has turned me down
[Verse 2]
C D G
There's sixteen cars behind each engine
C D G
I'll ride the last one till the end of the line
C D G G7
I don't know where I'll go or where I'll wind up
C D G
Just anything to ease my worried mind
[Chorus]
C D G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
C D G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
C D G G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
C D G
The one I loved has turned me down
