I'll come down tomorrow morning
E/F# E
And meet you at our new location

E/F#
She tells me how her night was spent
E
Nursing coffee and cigarettes
E/F#
You waited til your husband left
E
To pack your things and off you went
E/F#
He wouldn't notice that you'd left
E
Til morning when the drink wore off
E/F#
He stayed out all night with his friends
E
Never to return again

Across the street from the railway station

You show up with your suitcase

Ten dollars and a sad expression
E4 E
E/F#
She tells me that it's all over now
E
She's done her time and now she's out
E/F#
From the prison that she calls a house
E
Where she stayed put while he went out
E/F#
She left him a note taped to the door
E
Saying, "Babe I won't be back no more
E/F#
I can't find reasons for me to stay
E
Married to you and your cheating ways."
C#m E
Walked her out to the train
C#m E
Couldn't hide my pain
E/F#
Or these tears that flow
From my eyes like rain
E
That September morning, 1959
