G                                C 
Oh, you've done me wrong, but it won't be long, 
        G                D 
'Til my blues are out of sight. 
         G         G7       C 
For that big green engine's ready to go, 
        G      D      G 
Rollin' out of town tonight. 
 
 
G                          C 
See the steam and hear the whistle scream , 
          G                   D 
And we're off on the northern line. 
       G      G7           C  
Flyin' thirty-eight, never known to be late, 
         G        D       G 
Rock and rollin' along on time. 
 
 
    G                             C 
Oh, sling that coal and hear that engine roll, 
         G               D 
Keep the signals clear tonight. 
       G        G7             C 
Women, wine and song, I've had you to long, 
      G       D       G 
Gonna lose my blues tonight.

I've been in town and I've been foolin' around, 
         G                  D 
And I've spent some time in jail. 
      G      G7               C 
Gonna start again, don't know where or when, 
      G         D           G 
But tonight I'm changing my trail. 
 
 
     G               C 
It's good to see the bushland free,  
           G                 D 
'neath the moon and stars so bright. 
         G         G7      C 
And that old green rattler seems to know, 
         G         D     G 
That I'm losin' my blues tonight. 
 
 
    G                             C
