[F]
[Ab]
I got a gal [Db] in Dallas, way back when [Ab] I go through.
I got a gal [Db] in Tulsa, that'll toot my [Ab] whistle too.
Say how do.
I got them all over the [Eb] land.
[Db] I'm a [Ab] locomotive man.
[Db] Left my heart in Omaha, Omaha.
And I never did quite get it [Ab] back.
I got a [Db] Sue in Sioux City, waiting by [Ab] the railroad track.
Keeps her money in a tater sack.
I got [Eb] them all over the [Db] land.
[Ab] I'm a locomotive man.
[Bb]
Well [Eb] I left a little switch engine, [Ebm] about 40 miles south of [Bb] Bangor, Maine.
Couldn't keep her wheels a [Eb] turning.
Shouldn't try to pull [Bb] my train.
Got them [F] all over the [Bb] land.
I'm a locomotive man.
[Ab]
Well I had a gal in [Db] Jackson.
And it [Gb] sure broke my heart to [Ab] turn her loose.
Well I checked her time and [Db] moved on.
She was hooked [Ab] on my caboose.
I got them all over the [Eb] land.
[Db] I'm a [Ab] locomotive man.
