Steel Rail Blues Songtext / Lyric

Writer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Copyright: WB Music Corp. (C) Well I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who (C7) found the time to (F) write
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the (C) night
She (F) sent me a railroad ticket too
To take me to her loving (C) arms
And the big (Am) steel rail
Gonna carry me (G7) home to the one I (C) love (Em) (Am) (G7)

Well I been out here many a long days
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two bit bed to lay my body on
I been stood up I been shook down
I bin dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

(F) Ooh (Em) (Am) (C) (F) Ooh (Em) (Am) (G7) (C)
