Chorus:
F C
She`s a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
G C
spendin` her days on the train
F C
She`s a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
G G7 C
now she`s tryin`, tryin` to get home again


Verse 1:
C F C
South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin
G
from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean`s rain
C F C
Now that the rail have taken the
G C
She`s tryin`, tryin` to get home again

Chorus:
She`s a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin` her days on the train
Once a pullen car traveller, the switchmen won`t have her
She`s tryin`, tryin` to get home again

Verse 2:
Once a high born loaner, thought he could own her
he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
but she him for cold cash
in the town there
Never thinkin`, never thinkin` of home way back then

Verse 3 (KEY-CHANGE: same chord pattern but in the key of D!):

But the rails are now rusty, and the diamond got dusty
and the gold plated watches have taken their toll
And the railroads are dyin`, and the lady is cryin`
on a bus to Kentucky at home that`s her goal

Chorus (still in D):
She`s a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin` her days on the train
She`s a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
now she`s tryin`, tryin` to get home again
D G A D
On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
