(Key of E, played from open C position with capo at the 4th fret)
While [C]travelling on a [F]train one morning, [C]just to take a ride,
The [F]car was full and [C]I did not know who [D]I sat down be[G]si[-]de[G7].
Then she [C]said "It's been a long, long time." I [F]felt my blood run [C]cold.
For [F]there, beside me, [C]sat the girl who turned my [G]heart to [C]stone.
She said she was sorry for what she'd done, she'd started ife anew.
And 'though she told me many times before, this time I believed it was true.
So I took her to the porter's car, I got down on my knees.
And as I held her in my arms, she said that she'd marry me. (C7)
Chorus:
A [F]little cabin in the [C]countryside, [F]curtains and fancy [C]frills.
A [F]little girl with [C]dark brown eyes, and flowers [G]in the [C]dell,
In the [F]dell, and [C]flowers [G]in the [C]dell.
The train pulled into the Lincoln station. I reached up to help her down,
But she ran into another man's arms as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Then she turned and she looked and I heard her laugh, for all the world to see.
And as she turned, I reached out and grabbed her, before she could walk away.
The [F]whistle blew, I [C]heard her scream, I'll [F]hear it 'til my dying [C]day,
And [F]as she struggled, I [C]turned and I threw her be[G]neath the wheels of the [C]tr[-]ai[C7]n.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental verse)
The [C]judge he said [F]ninety-nine years, [C]grant him no parole.
They [F]put me in a cell in [C]shackles and chains and [G]nailed up the [C]do[-]or[C7].
(Chorus)
