I think [Bb]
[Eb] I'm a cherry, cherry [Bb] white.
[Eb]
[Bb] I believe I [Eb] go walking by the railroad
with my cherry, cherry [Bb] white.
[Eb]
[Bb] If [F] I pass the Ramblin' Station
[Eb] where the lonesome Indian

You [Eb] came walking down when the [Bb] sun's shining through.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Nobody, [Bb]
