C
Sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm blue

My blue eye babe she's solid gone

Verse 3

Listen to that train come a rollin down the track
                                     F
It's a takin' her away oh God and it ain't
                                    C
A-gonna bring her back oh yes she's gone

When my baby left me she even took my shoes
And that's enough to give a man those

Doggone worried blues oh yes she's gone
G7          C
She's solid gone

And I know I'm gonna miss her since she's gone
G7          C
She's solid gone

Verse 6

Would you listen to that engine pullin' around the curve
                                     F
She's a whistlin' and a pulllin' boy strainin' every nerve
              C    G7          C
And now she's gone she's solid gone
