The lonesome sound of a train going by
                 G7       C
Makes me want to stop and cry

Makes me want to stop and cry

Verse 3

In the still of the night in the pale moonlight

The wind did moan and cry
                       F          C
These lonesome blues I just can't loose

I'm blue and I'm lonesome too

Well I want to pack my suitcase and go

The lonesome sound of a train going by
                 G7       C
Makes me want to stop and cry

Verse 4

                       F          C

I'm blue and I'm lonesome too

I'm blue and I'm lonesome too
