[N] [E]
Well, well, well, you get hung up right here at the top.
I've got the words.
I hear the train a coming.
Coming around the bend.
That's a train coming around the bend.
That part.
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [B] I don't know when.
[A] Lord, I'm stuck in post prison.
Time keeps [E]
dragging by.
Well, that'll make your eyes smart.
Every [B] time I hear that great train, I hang my [E] head and I cry.
Well, when I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns.
But I [A] shot a man in Reno.
You what?
[E] Just to [Em] watch him die.
I say, won't you come down here?
[B] Every time I hear that great train, I hang my head [E] and I cry.
Take it out one time, Luther.
Take it out.

The part that makes it all worthwhile.
Well, I'll bet there's rich folks eating in that fancy dining car.
Probably smoking whiskey and drinking a big cigar.
But I know I [A] had it one time.
[E]
[Em] Somehow that don't [A] sound quite right.
All [Em] I do [E] is cry.
Every [B] time I hear that great train, I hang my [E] head and I cry.
Now he's tripping.
Hold me now.
Ain't trick.
I was wanting something else, but this is as close to a trick as I can find.
Ain't trick.
I let it blow up.
[A]
[E]
[B]
[G] [E]
Yeah.
Well, if they free me from this prison and that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it [Em] on a little farther down the line.
Lord, [A] so far from post prison.
See that?
That was my love.
I had her on top of me.
That's not a trick, son.
Extraordinary little pudgy bum.
I woke up one morning and there it was.
You know they'll drill me.
Thanks, Mike.
Oh, that one gets harder every year.
I had originally planned to do one more for you this evening.
All I [E] do is cry.
Every time I hear [B] that great train, I hang my head [E] and I cry.
Take it out, blue man.
[B]
Austin City Leonard Songora will be back with Roy Clark and Kate Mouse Brown.
Well, well, well, you get hung up right here at the top.
