Railroad Lady
Recorded by Lefty Frizzell
Written by Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker
[3/4 time]
C F C
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
G7 C
Spending her days on a train
F C
She's a semi good looker but the fast rails they took her
G7 C G7 C
Now she's trying just trying to get home again
F C
South station in Boston to the stockyards of Austin
D7 G7
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
C F C
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
G7 C G7 C
She's trying just trying to get home again
F C
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
G7 C
Spending her days on a train
F C
Once a Pullman car traveler now the switchman won't have her
G7 C G7 C
She's trying just trying to get home again
F C
Once a high-balling loner thought he could own her
D7 G7
He bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
C F C
But she hocked them for cold cash left town on the Wabash
G7 C G7 C A7 D
Never thinking never thinking of home way back then
D G D
But the rails are now rusty the dining car's dusty
E7 A7
The gold plated watches have taken their toll
D G D
The railroads are dying and the lady is crying
A7 D
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal
Repeat #1
A7 G A7 D
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
