Verse 1

    E                A7
All day I've been so lonely,
D7                   G
All day I've been so blue
E                   A7
Time now is drawing near,
D7                             G
When they'll take me away from you

Verse 2

I got the blues in Cincinnati,
Then I went to Newport town
Kentucky is where I got in trouble,
Shot another feller down

Chorus

Yonder comes that fast express, baby,
Yonder comes that fast express I say
Little man, he's ridin', ridin',
Coming here to take your man away

Verse 3

We've seen a lot together,
Baby just you and I
Good times and all kinds of weather,
But the good times have done passed me by

Verse 4

There'll be no other darling,
To take my place you see
But if you should ever cross me,
I'll make you pay some day

Chorus

Harmony singing

Yonder comes that fast express, baby,
Yonder comes that fast express I say
Little man, he's ridin', ridin',
Coming here to take your man away

Verse 5

Last time I saw you baby,
The dress that you wore was red
Nobody knows how I love you,
Don't let nobody sleep in my bed

Verse 6

Down in some lonesome valley,
I'll be so lonesome you know
How can I ever stand it,
Without any place to go

Chorus

Yonder comes that fast express, baby,
Yonder comes that fast express I say
Little man, he's ridin', ridin',
Coming here to take your man away
