              E7                             A7

Well, there's two trains running and they're running this-a way.

E7

One leaves at midnight, other at the break of day.

At the break of day, at the break of day...

Oh, Lord.  Oh, Lord.

 

I been troubled, I been a fool, I been crazy my whole life.

I done fell in love with another man's wife.

With another man's wife...

Oh, Lord.

 

I gonna find me a woman who shines like a morning star.

I'm gonna find me a woman ride like a Cadillac car.

Ride like a Cadillac car, ride like a Cadillac car...

Oh, Lord.  Oh, Lord.

 

Well, I'm afraid of everybody and I can't trust myself.

Well, the woman I love has put me on top of the shelf.

Put me on top of the shelf, put me on top of the shelf...

Oh, Lord.  Oh, Lord.

 

Well, there's two trains running and they're running this-a way.

One leaves at midnight, other at the break of day.

At the break of day, at the break of day, at the break of day...
