SMOKE ALONG THE TRACK - Stonewall Jackson
Intro: G C G G D G
G C G
One day the train was passin', I caught it comin' by
D
To look this old world over under God's blue sky
G C G
My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back
D G
I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Chorus: G C G
Goodbye, so long, un-til I come back home, you'll be my dream
D
Goodbye, so long, there's lots of places that I've never seen
G C G
I'll always be a drifter, but I'll be driftin' back
D G
To where I left you cryin' in the smoke along the track.
I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue
I get the urge to travel, that's all I want to do
I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow, I've gotta move along.
Chorus: Goodbye, so long, there's something down the track keeps callin me
Goodbye, so long, I guess that's just the way I'll always be
So when I get that feelin' don't try to hold me back
I'd only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track.
I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too
But she don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack
And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Chorus: Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but I've got to go
Goodbye, so long, It's comin', I just heard that whistle blow
It'll be here in a minute, you'll wave and I'll look back
I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track.
