Phantom Engineer, number cloudy, take one.
Ha ha.
[Ab]
Well, I ride on a mail train, babe, can't buy no thrill.
I've been up all night, baby, leaning on the window sill.
Well, if I die on [Db] top of [Db] this hill, [Eb] [Ab] and if I don't make it,
you know my baby will.
Though the moon looks good, my own shining through the trees.
Though the angel look good, sitting on his daddy's knee.
Though the sun look good, going [Db] down over the [E] sea.
[Eb]
[Ab] Though my gal look fine when she running after me.
[Eb]
[Ab]
I've been into the baggage room, where the engineer's been tossed.
I stomped out a hundred compasses, God knows what they cost.
I wanna be your [B] lover, baby, [Db] I don't wanna be [Ebm] your boss.
I [Ab] sure can't help it if his train gets lost.
[N]
