           E7             E
I caught a train, I met a dame. 
          E7                       E
She was a hepster, and a real gone dame. 
        A
She was pretty, from New York City. 
       E
And we trucked on down that ol' fair lane. 
        B7             A
With a "heave!" and a "ho!" 
        E7                    E
Well, I just couldn't let her go. 

     E7    E
Get along, sweet little woman, 
     E7    E
Get along, better be on your way. 
     A
Get along, sweet little woman, 
     E7    E
Get along, better be on your way. 
        B7             A
With a "heave!" and a "ho!" 
        E7                    E
Well, I just couldn't let her go. 

          E7           E       E7
Well, the train kept a-rollin' all night long.
                 E       E7           
The train kept a-rollin' all night long. 
    A
The train kept a-movin' all night long. 
    E7           E       E7
The train kept a-rollin' all night long. 
        B7             A
With a "heave!" and a "ho!" 
        E7                    E
Well, I just couldn't let her go.

Giddy-yup. 

Oowwh. 

          E7          E
We made a stop in Albuquerque. 
              E7                 E
She must have thought that I's a real gone jerk. 
               A
We got off the train at El Paso, 
    E7                          E
Our lovin' was so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go. 
     B7            A                     E
Get along, well, I just couldn't let her go. 

     E7    E
Get along, sweet little woman, 
     E7    E
Get along, better be on your way. 
     A
Get along, sweet little woman, 
     E7    E
Get along, better be on your way. 
        B7             A
With a "heave!" and a "ho!" 
        E7                    E
Well, I just couldn't let her go. 

          E7           E       E7
Well, the train kept a-rollin' all night long.
                 E       E7           
The train kept a-rollin' all night long. 
    A
The train kept a-movin' all night long. 
    E7           E       E7
The train kept a-rollin' all night long. 
        B7             A
With a "heave!" and a "ho!" -oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
