This is a wonderful song on a wonderful album by a wonderful band.


Enjoy!


A                                   A7
Down the track this morning she did stroll
D                                       A
In an accident her foot got caught in a hole
A        
I’m going to tell you the truth
D
Die for a touch of that cold hand
A                            E                   E7   E7 E7 E7
I’d be crying every time the Southern makes it’s run

A
I’m going to buy them all
D
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
A                       E         A
Trials and troubles are heavy for me


A                                       A7
She’s a ramblin’ gal bound to leave her home
D                                            A
I begged my brown skin please don’t leave me alone
A
I’m going to make amends
D
Bound to cry to touch her hand
A                                   E                    E7   E7 E7 E7
I’m going to ride that line ‘till I see that black train come


A
I’m going to buy them all
D
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
A                       E         A
Trials and troubles are heavy for me


A                                         A7
Now people that Southern Pacific make her run
D                                       A
From Chapel Hill to the state of Washington
A
Round the bend at 40 miles
D
20 tons of loaded frieght a-comin' on
A                                           E                   E7    E7 E7 E7
Florscheim’s stuck and it won’t come out my good gal’s dead and gone


A
I’m going to buy them all
D(stop)
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco when I can
A                       E         A
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
A(stop)                 E         A
Trials and troubles are heavy for me
