(E)
I lost all my money In a crooked poker game
Now I'm going home On this old freight train
(A)                                        E
I got the boxcar blues Shuffle on down the tracks
      (B7)                                      E
I got the boxcar blues And Lord, I may never get back

(E)
Well, I am so lonesome I think I could die
These ain't cinders These are tears in my eyes
(A)                                        E
I got the boxcar blues Shuffle on down the tracks
(B7)                                             E
I got the boxcar blues And Lord, I may never get back

I dream of my big Baked biscuits in the pan
I dream of my woman With another man
I got the boxcar blues Shuffle on down the tracks
I got the boxcar blues And Lord, I may never get back

When I get back home I'll get down on my knees
I'll beg to my woman "Have a little mercy please"
I got the boxcar blues Shuffle on down the tracks
I got the boxcar blues And Lord, I may never get back

Now let me tell you, brother It just ain't so
There ain't no easy life For a bored hobo
I got the boxcar blues Shuffle on down the tracks
I got the boxcar blues And Lord, I may never get back

No listen to me, brother And take my advice
Stay away from trains And them loaded dice

You'll get the boxcar blues You'll shuffle on down the tracks
You'll get the boxcar blues And Lord, you may never get back
You'll get the boxcar blues And Lord, you may never get back
