[Intro: G x2]
GG7 I know I had to leave you, there's work to be done CG I swear when this job is over, it's to you I'm gonna run GG7 Long wind(?) blow, blow on down the line CG I'll be in the arms of my darling, in just three weeks time
CGCG I'll be coming home, pockets full of bills CGDG I'll be coming home, speed of a whippoorwill
[Break: G x2]
GG7 Roll tracks, roll, lay a half mile-a-day CG Set the spike and the hammer, fill my pockets with pay GG7 Dynamite that rock, keep the cross ties flat and square CG Dreams of my darling, two weeks till I'm there
CGCG I'll be coming home, ready for a thrill CGDG I'll be coming home, speed of a whippoorwill
[Instrumental chorus x1 (4 bars)]
GG7 Water boy come running, I'm dry as the dirt CG The days keep getting longer, I've got hurt on top of hurt GG7 I hear the steam engine, rolling from the west CG Tracks will join in a few more days, and I'll finally get my rest
CGCG I'll be coming home, ready for a thrill CGDG I'll be coming home, speed of a whippoorwill CGCG Yes I'll be coming home, pockets full of bills CGDG I'll be coming home, speed of a whippoorwill
