Verse: 3 
F 
Standing on the platform, 
  Bb           F 
Smoking a big cigar, 
  Bb              F 
Waitin' for some old freight train 
       C               F 
that carries an empty car.

I rode her down to Danville town, 
     Bb                  F 
got stuck on a Danville girl, 
Bb                 F 
Bet your life she was a pearl, 
     C                  F 
she wore that Danville curl. 

     F 
She wore her hat on the back of her head 
Bb                        F 
like high tone people all do, 
Bb                    F 
Very next train come down that track, 
   C            F 
I bid that gal adieu.
