G                                 D7   
Down in the valley, the valley so low  
                                    G     
Late in the evening, hear the train blow  
                                         D7    
Hear the train blow love, hear the train blow  
                                    G     
Late in the evening, hear the train blow  
   
G                             D7    
Write me a letter, send it by mail  
                              G     
Send it in care of Birmingham Jail  
                                  D7    
Birmingham Jail, love, Birmingham Jail  
                              G     
Send it in care of Birmingham Jail  
   
G                                        D7       
The train won't stay love, it goes right through  
                                  G    
It will be gone love, and so will you  
                                   D7    
Before you go love, for old time's sake  
                                      G      
Put your arms round me, feel my heart break  
   
D7                                    G      
Put your arms round me, feel my heart break  
   
G                                D7   
Roses love sunshine violets love dew  
                             G    
Angels in heaven know I love you  
                                 D7   
Know I love you dear know I love you  
                             G    
Angels in heaven know I love you  
   
G                                 D7   
Down in the valley, the valley so low  
                                   G     
Late in the evening hear the train blow  
                                        D7    
Hear the train blow love hear the train blow  
                                   G     
Late in the evening hear the train blow  
   
                                   G     
Late in the evening hear the train blow
