I lost all my money in a crooked poker game
D7
Now I'm going home on this old freight train
G D
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back

Well I am so lonely I think I could die
D7
These ain't cinders they are tears in my eyes
G D
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back

I dream of my big baked biscuit in the pan
D7
I dream of my woman with a-nother man
G D
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back

When I get back home I'll get down on my knees
D7
I'll beg to my woman to have a little mercy please
G D
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you 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
G D
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back
D
No listen to brother and take my advice
D7
Stay away from trains and them loaded dice
G D
You'll get the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back
A7 D
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back
