verse 1 
       G                                              C 
Just a mile west of the water tank on a cold November day 
     C                 G        D7 
In a cold and lonesome boxcar a dyin' hobo lay 
    G                                                C 
His pal sat there before him with a low and drooping head 
                 G              D7          G 
Listenin' to the last words his dyin' buddy said. 


verse 2 
    G                                      C  
Goodbye old pardner hobo I hate to say goodbye 
      C               G            D7                 
But I hear my train a-comin' and I know she's a-getting nigh 
      G                                            C 
Gonna tell that old conductor just where I want to stop 
                           G             D7               G  
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks. 


verse 3 
   G                                          C  
We rode the rods together, we've rambled all around 
   C             G           D7 
In ev'ry kind of weather, we slept out on the ground 
    G                                                       C 
Oh, pardner don't you miss that train that always makes the stop 
                           G             D7               G 
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.

verse 4 
          G                                                      C  
Would you tell my girl in Danville that she need not to worry at all 
      C             G               D7 
I'm a-goin' to that country where I won't have to work a-tall 
     G                                              C 
No I will not have to work there nor even change my socks 
                         G             D7               G 
And the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.

Verse 5 
    G                                                C  
I'm a-goin' to that better place where ever'thing is right 
          C                G          D7 
Where the handouts grow on bushes and they sleep out ever' night 
      G                                            C 
Won't have to wash my overhauls nor even change my socks 
                         G             D7               G       C   G   D7  G 
And the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
