_ _ Last thing I [Bb] remember about [F] my daddy, _ _ _ _ _ before he left [Bb] he bought me a little [C] toy train. _ _ _ _
[F] And I remember [Bb] _ smiling at [F] him sadly. _ _ _ _ _
Then before he turned [Bb] to walk out in [C] the rain, _ he said, son [F] I'm gonna ride [Bb] a big toy [F] train
round the world [Bb] and back again.
[F] But mama, _ when is daddy coming [C] _ _ _ back?
She said, son [F] he's gonna ride [Bb] a big toy train [F] _ and [Bb] he'll be back [Gm]
again _ just as soon [Bb] as daddy
runs [F] out of track. _ _ _ _ _
I spend my boyhood [Bb] days growing up [F] without him. _ _ _ _
_ Most of my time I [Bb] spend looking [C] down the track. _ _ _ _
[F] And every day [Bb] I'd ask my mom [F] about him. _ _ _ _
_ Mama, ain't you [Bb] had time to make [C] it back?
_ She said, son [F] he's riding on [Bb] a big toy train [F] _ round the world [Bb] and back again.
[F] But mama, _ _ when is daddy coming [C] _ _ _ back?
She said, son [F] he's riding on [Bb] a big toy train [F] _ and he'll be [Gm] back again _ just as soon as daddy
runs [F] out of _ _ track. _ _
_ [G] Every day [C] I'd hear that whistle [G] _ blowing. _ _ _ _
And every day [C] I'd watch my mama [D] turn gray. _ _ _
[G] _ And I was [C] almost grown when she [G] started going. _ _ _ _
And I cheered her [C] up before she passed [D] _ away.
_ I said, [G] mom he's riding on [C] a big toy [G] train round the world [C] and back again.
[G] But son, _ when is daddy coming [D] _ _ _ back?
I said, mom [G] he's riding [C] on a big toy [G] train _ and [C] he'll be back again _ [Am] just as [C] soon as daddy
runs [G] out of _ _ track.
_ _ [Am] But mama knew [C] that daddy wasn't coming [G] _
_ back.
