Railroad Lady
By: Jimmy Buffett, Jerry Jeff Walker
1973

Chorus:
     F
     She's a railroad lady
            C
     Just a little bit shady
     G7                       C
     Spendin' her days on the train
             F
     She's a semi-good looker
             C        
     But the fast rails they took her
               G7                     F   G    C
     Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

      C          C7            F               C
South Station in Boston to the freightyards of Austin
                                             G7
>From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
C            C7
Now that the railpacks
    F         C
Has taken the best tracks
                             G7        C
She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

Chorus:
     She's a railroad lady
     Just a little bit shady
     Spendin' her life on a train
     Once a pullman car traveller
     Now the brakeman won't have her
     She's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

Once a high ballin' loner he thought he could own her
Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
She hocked 'em for cold cash
Left town on the Wabash
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then

But the rails are now rusty
The dinin' car's dusty
Gold plated watches have taken their toll
Yeah the railroads are dyin'
And the lady she's cryin'
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal

Chorus:
     She's a railroad lady
     Just a little bit shady
     Spendin' her life on a train
     She's a semi-good looker
     But the fast rails they took her
     Now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again

C        G7                  F    G    C     
Yes on a bus to Kentucky and home once again

Enjoy!
