Standing on a platform [A] smoking a big [E] cigar _
[A] Waiting for [E] some old freight train, there is an empty car
I rode her down to Danville town, [A] got struck on a [E] Danville girl
[A] You bet your [E] life she was a pearl, [B] she wore that [E] Danville curl
She wore her hat on the back of her head [A] like high-torn people [E] all do
[A] The very next train [E] come down that track, [B] I bid that [E] gal adieu _
Didn't I know that _ [A] you'd stay
Ha ho [E] ho ho ho, [A] ha ha ho [E] ho, _ [B]
