Chorus: She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her now she's tryin',just tryin' to get home again Verse 1: South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain Now that the railpass have taken the best tracks She's tryin',just tryin' to get home again Chorus: She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train Once a pullman car traveller, nowthe brakemen won't have her She's tryin', tryin' to get home again Verse 2: Once a high rollin loner, thought he could own her he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring but she hocked them for cold cash left town on the Wabash Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then Verse 3 (KEY-CHANGE: same chord pattern but in the key of D!): But the rails are now rusty, and the dining cars dusty and the gold plated watches have taken their toll And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin' on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal Chorus (still in D): She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady spendin' her days on the train She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her now she's tryin', just tryin' to get home again On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
