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.
