[Verse 1]
C Ebdim F G
When we got married back in nineteen forty-four

We’d board that Silverliner below Baltimore
C C7 F D7
Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon
G C
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
[Verse 2]

We’d tip the porter for a place of our own
C Ebdim7 F G
Then send a postcard to your mommy and dad back home
C C7 F D7
Mmm, it did something to you when you’d hear that “All aboard”
G C
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
[Chorus]

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
F G
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
[Verse 3]

We had a daughter and you oughtta see her now
C Ebdim7 F G
She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal Sal

And when they’re married they won’t need us anymore

They’ll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore
[Chorus]
F C
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
F G
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
