Railroad Boy

INTRO:  Dm  F  Dm     F  G   Dm

VERSE:
            Dm
She went upstairs to make her bed
           F                  Dm
And not a word to her mother said

Her mother, she went upstairs too,
                   F          G              Dm
Said daughter, oh daughter, what's troubling you?


G  Dm     G  Dm     G  Dm     G  Dm


VERSE:
         Dm
Oh mother I, I cannot tell
               F                  Dm
That railroad boy that I love so well

He courted me, my life away,
            F    G              Dm
And now at home will no longer stay


G  Dm     G  Dm     G  Dm     G  Dm     Dm  F  Dm


VERSE:
  Dm
There is a place in London town
                    F                Dm
Where the railroad boy goes and sits down

Takes a strange girl on his knee,
                F  G               Dm
Says things to her he won't say to me

VERSE;
 Dm
Her father, he came home from work,
                  F                        Dm
Said where's my daughter, what's troubling her

He went upstairs to give her hope,
           F      G     Dm
Found her hanging by a rope

G  Dm    G  Dm    G  Dm    G  Dm


VERSE:
             Dm
He took his knife, cut her down,
            F                      Dm
And on her bosom these words were found

Oh dig my grave both wide and deep,
                 F   G               Dm
Place a marble stone at my head and feet


VERSE:
            Dm
And on my breast place a white snow dove,
                     F    G               Dm
Won't you tell the world that I died for love
              F   G          Dm
To tell the world I died of love
           F    G               Dm
Tell the world that I died for love
                     F    G               Dm    G  Dm D
Won't you tell the world that I died for love
