WELL I’M RIDIN’ ON THIS TRAIN

( Nine Hundred Miles )

Well I’m ridin’ on this train

Well I’m ^Dm ridin’ on this train, I’ve got tears in my eyes.
I’m tryin’ to read a ^Am letter from my ^Dm home.
If this train runs me ^Am right, I’ll be home Saturday ^Dm night
’cause I’m ^Am nine hundred miles from my ^Dm home.

1. Well, I’m ridin’ on this train,
I’ve got tears in my eyes,
Tryin’ to read a letter from my home.
If this train runs me right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.

2. Well, this train I ride on
Is a hundred coaches long.
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
If this train runs me right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.

3. Now, if you say so,
I will railroad no more –
Sidetrack my train and go home.
If this train runs me right,
I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
