[Bb] [Ab]
Well, I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night, leaning on the window sill.
Well, if I die [Db] on top [Eb] of the hill, [Ab]
if I don't make it,
you know my baby will.
Don't the moon look good, mama, shining through the trees?
Don't the [Db] [Ab] brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the double E?
[Bb] [Ab] Don't the sun look good [Db] going down [Eb] over the sea?
[Ab] Boy, don't my gal look fine when she's coming after me.

[Db] [Ab]
Well, the wintertime is coming, [Gb] the [Ab] windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody, but I could [Db] not [Ab] get across.
Well, I want [Ebm] to be your lover, [Db] baby, I don't want to [Eb] be your foreground.
[Ab] Say I never warned you when your train gets [Db] lost.
