Verse 1

G                   C         G
See that east bound passenger train
                  D7
Coming around the bend
G                   C        G
It's taking away my own true love
         D7     G
To never return again

Verse 2

                      C        G
All the good time are past and gone

All the good times are o'er
G                       C        G
All the good times have past and gone

Little darling don't you weep no more

Verse 3

                     C          G
I wish dear Lord I'd never been born
                   D7
Or died when I was young
G                     C               G
I never would've seen those two brown eyes
         D7         G
Or heard your lying tongue

Verse 2

                      C        G
All the good time are past and gone

All the good times are o'er
G                       C        G

Little darling don't you weep no more

Verse 4

                  C      G
See that lonesome turtle dove
                    D7
Flying from pine to pine
G                     C        G
He's mourning for his own true love
            D7        G
Just like I mourn for mine

Verse 2

All the good times are o'er

All the good times have past and gone
                     D7          G
Little darling don't you weep no more
