Charleston Railroad Tavern

Sitting up till I'm blind

                 F
She left on that 5-0-9

G7               C
Eastern standard blue time

My baby left this evening

                          C
I'd changed all this if I could

                          F
But her train just pulled out of sight

G7                    C
I know she's gone for good

I stayed out so many nights

                      C
The crowd downtown was fun

                           F
But her love had turned to hate before

G7                  C
I knew the harm I'd done

 
                                 G7
Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone

                        C
I'm so lonesome I could die

                       F
The man just said it's closing time

G7                     C
Guess I'll go home and cry
