  Chorus:

          F              C

  She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

  G                        C

  spendin' her days on the train

          F                        C

  She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her

            G                 G7       C

  now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again

  

  

  Verse 1:

  C                               F              C

  South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin

                                                 G

  from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain

  C                               F               C

  Now that the rail <mumble> have taken the <mumble mumble>

        G                          C

  She's tryin', tryin' to get home again

  

  Chorus:

  She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

  spendin' her days on the train

  Once a pullen car traveller, the switchmen won't have her 

  She's tryin', tryin' to get home again

  

  Verse 2:

  Once a high born loaner, thought he could own her

  he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring

  but she <mumble> him for cold cash

  in the town <mumble mumble> there

  Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then

  

  Verse 3 (KEY-CHANGE: same chord pattern but in the key of D!):

  

  But the rails are now rusty, and the diamond got dusty

  and the gold plated watches have taken their toll

  And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin'

  on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal

  

  Chorus (still in D):

  She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady

  spendin' her days on the train

  She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her

  now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again

       D                  G    A    D

  On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
