Verse 1
     G                       D                        G
Well Mamas? got a voice like sugar, it?s so sweet and fine
G                                            D
Sister sang amazing grace she?s right in time
    G                         G7          C                         Cadd9
And they?re laying poor poppa low, in the ground that he worked and sowed
    G                              D                        G
And I?ll be waiting at the Jackson Station for the train to roll

Verse 2
           G                     D                        G
She?s been up all night, she got crows walking around her eyes
G                                                          D
But she can still raise a cup in a toast till the well ran dry
G                        G7          C                            Cadd9
He left her on a Tuesday still, with gin, whiskey and a bottle of pills
              G                      D                        G
And now she?s waitin? at the Jackson Station looking over the hill

Bridge
C                      G                      
Take me away hear that whistle play a sad sad song
C                     G                   D
Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong
G                            G7  
Sometimes she rides a ticket home 
C                                Cm
Other times she'll leave you all alone
G                             D                       G
Just a waiting at the Jackson Station waiting for the train to go

Verse 3
         G                   D               G
Well the four nineteen rolls on the red ball line
G                                               D
And the backwater shacks awaken to the four one nine
    G                                 G7
And she?s got smoke coming out of her stack
C                          Cadd9
Dead running on a ten mile track
      G              D                            G
She?s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
      G              D                            G
She?s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
      G              D                            C hold
She?s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back
C                  G
Ain?t never coming back
