# Sorry about the :mumble:'s in the lyrics, I can't make out # everything. Some of the lines may not make sense to ya :-)
Chorus:
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin' her days on the train
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
Verse 1:
South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin
from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain
Now that the rail :mumble: have taken the :mumble mumble:
She's tryin', tryin' to get home again
Chorus: She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train Once a pullen car traveller, the switchmen won't have her She's tryin', tryin' to get home again
Verse 2: Once a high born loaner, thought he could own her he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring but she :mumble: him for cold cash in the town :mumble mumble: there Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
Verse 3 (KEY-CHANGE: same chord pattern but in the key of D!):
But the rails are now rusty, and the diamond got dusty and the gold plated watches have taken their toll And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin' on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal
Chorus (still in D): She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
