                I'd  rather  be in some dark hollow

                In a small room with a girl on my mind

                             (same chords)
                                 So, blow your whistle freight train
                                 Take me far on down the track
                                 I'm going away, I'm leaving today
                                 I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back
                                            *Solo*   (verse & chorus)

                I'd rather be in some dark hollow
                Where the sun don't ever shine
                Than to see another man's daughter
                And to know you will never be mine

                                 So, blow your whistle freight train
                                 Take me far on down the track
                                 I'm going away, I'm leaving today
                                 I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back
                                            *Solo*   (verse & chorus)

                I'd rather be in some dark hollow
                Where the sun don't ever shine
                Than to be at home alone, knowin' that you're gone
                Would cause me to lose my mind

                                 So, blow your whistle freight train
                                 Take me far on down the track
                                 I'm going away, I'm leaving today
                                 Well, I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back

                                 I'm going away, I'm leaving today
                                 I'm goin' but I ain't comin' back...
