One day the train was passin' I caught it comin' by
G D7
To look this old world over under God's blue sky
G C G
My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back
G D7 G
I kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
G C G
Goodbye so long until I come back home you'll be my dream
G D7
Goodbye so long there's lots of places that I've never seen
G C G
I'll always be a drifter but I'll be driftin' back
D7 G
To where I left cryin' in the smoke along the track
G C G
I like to keep goin' it helps me when I'm blue
G D7
I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do
G C G
I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam
G D7 G
And when I hear that whistle blow I've gotta move along
G C G
Goodbye so long there' s something down the track keeps callin' me
G D7
Goodbye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
G C G
So when I get that feelin' don't try to hold me back
G D7 G
I'd only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
G C G
I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
G D7
But she don't understand me when I'm feeling' blue
G C G
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home and pack
G D7 G
And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
G C G
Goodbye so long I hate to leave you but I got to go
G D7
Goodbye so long it's coming' I just heard that whistle blow
G C G
It'll be here in a minute you'll wave and I'll look back
G D7 G
I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
