C                                                            C7
It's three a.m. in the morning, the train whistle is blowin'
   F                                        C
It sounds like some lonesome song got in my soul, in my soul
   G                       F                   C
My baby spent the bank and he won't be back no more

C                                                                       C7 
My baby thinks he's a train, he makes his whistle stop, then he's gone again
F                                    C
Sometimes it's hard on a poor girl's brain, a poor girl's brain
 G                     F                      C
I'm tellin' you, boys, my baby thinks she's a train


Chorus)
F
Locomotion's the way he moves
C                                     C7
He drags me 'round just like an old caboose
F
I'm tellin' you, boys, that man's insane
   C    G             C
My baby thinks he's a train

Solo

Choo, choo rages on, train sound, it's the noise that you hear when my baby hits town
With his long hair flyin', man, he's hard to take, hard to take
Well, what you s'posed to do when your baby thinks she's a train

He eats money like a train eats coal, he burns it up and leaves you in the smoke
If you wanna catch a ride, you wait till he unwinds, he might unwind
He's just like a train, he always gives some tramp a ride


Chorus
