          C

          Well I got my mail late last night

                                   C7                F

          A letter from a girl who found the time to write

                              F                 C

          To her lonesome boy somewher's in the night

              F                  F

          She sent me a railroad ticket too

                                   C

          To make me to her lovin' arms

                            Am                  G7

          And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

                       C     Em Am G7

          To the one I love

          F   Em  Am  C          

Refrain:  Ooh ooh ooh i hi hi

          F   Em  Am  G7  C

          Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

          Well I bin out here man long days

          I haven't found a place that I could call my own

          Not a two bit bed to lay my body on

          I bin stood up, I bin shock down

          I bin dragged into the sand

          And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

          To the one I love

                    

Refrain:  

          

          Well I bin up tight nost every night

          Walkin' around the streets of this old town

          Not a friend around to tell my troubles to

          My old car; she done broke down

          'Cause I drove it into the ground

          And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

          To the one I love

                  

Refrain:

              

          Well look over yonder across the plain

          The big drive wheels a-poundin' along the ground

          Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound

          Now I aint' had a home cooked meal

          And Lord I need one now

          And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

          To the one I love

                

Refrain:  

                

          Now here I am with my hat in my hand

          Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride

          To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night

          I went in town for one last round

          And I gambled my ticket away

          And the big steel rail gonna carry me home

          To the one I love

                    

Refrain:
