E
It's stormy tonight
A                  E
The rain's comin' down
 E                            B7
There's no place for me to go to
 E                    A       E
My gal said goodbye, alone am I
         E        B7   E
With the freight line blues

 E
My clothes are all wet
 A                     E
Had to crouch in the cold
 E                      B7
Waitin' by the Sante Fe lines
 E
My prides all but gone
 A                 E
My hearts torn in two
            E         B7      E
From that woman who left me behind

     A
The rain drops keep fallin'
     E
And so do my tears
    E                      B7
Without her lord what will I do
     E                            A        E
All alone on these rails with no train in sight
         E       B7   E
With the freight line blues
