[E] Where's the loon coming from?
Turn loose!
[A]
[E]
My granddaddy was a railroad man
When I was young he [B] took me by [E] the hand
Drove me to the station at the break of dawn
Said, boy, I got to show you something before it's gone
[A] She was blue as silver, she was mine all the time
[E] We rode a Texas Eagle [B] on that moped back in [E] time
[Em]
[A]
[E]
Had some sandwiches and grandma's pie
We rode a Palestinian Hedgehog wagon
On the top of the supper with a tattered tail
Had a night dream to herd that long whistle wave
[A]
Now I got old enough to ride the train alone
[E] I ride the Texas Eagle up from San Anselm
[Em] [A]
[Em] [F#m]
[E]
Bad things, they don't make no trains
Just a big black train and a man-traveling
Shot the [F#m] Eagle down a while [E] ago
Shored it to the railroad down in Mexico
[A]
I'm having that man and whistle on my mind
[E] I ride the Texas Eagle across the borderland
