Looks like the next time I see home again 
C                           Em 
Will be when snow is on the ground 
D                                              C 
Mother will be gone and not seen her son grown tall

If I had a nickel, for every tear I've shed

I'd  be the richest man alive 
    D 
But all I've got from crying 
       Em              C 
Is red eyes and bitter salt 

C                 G              Em              D

Early every morning, I can hear a whistle moan 
C                           Em 
I think of a girl I used to know 
        D 
On the "City of New Orleans"  
           Em              C 
She left , with a stranger tall 

C                 G              Em              D

A lyin' , cheatin', gambler they told me 
     D   
The judge said he was sorry

But I won't be out next fall
