Smoke Along the Track — Stonewall Jackson
Chords and lyrics for Smoke Along the Track by Stonewall Jackson (key of G).
Verse 1
[G]One day the train was passin' I [C]caught it comin' [G]by
[G]To look this old world over under God's blue [D7]sky
My [G]darlin' stood there weepin' as [C]I was lookin' [G]back
[G]I kiss my baby cryin' in the [D7]smoke along the [G]track
[G]Goodbye so long [C]until I come back home you'll be my [G]dream
[G]Goodbye so long there's lots of places that I've never [D7]seen
I'll [G]always be a drifter but [C]I'll be driftin' [G]back
To where I left cryin' in the [D7]smoke along the [G]track
[G]I like to keep goin' it [C]helps me when I'm [G]blue
[G]I get the urge to travel that's all I want to [D7]do
I[G] know I just can't [C]settle down [G]because I like to roam
[G]And when I hear that whistle blow [D7]I've gotta move [G]along
[G]Goodbye so [C]long there' s something down [G]the track keeps callin' me
[G]Goodbye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always [D7]be
So [G]when I get that feelin' don't [C]try to hold me [G]back
[G]I'd only leave you cryin' in the [D7]smoke along the [G]track
[G]I know my baby [C]loves me I [G]love my baby too
[G]But she don't understand me when I'm feeling' [D7]blue
And [G]when I hear that whistle blow I [C]hurry home and [G]pack
[G]And leave my baby cryin' in the [D7]smoke along the [G]track
[G]Goodbye so [C]long I hate to leave [G]you but I got to go
[G]Goodbye so long it's coming' I just heard that whistle [D7]blow
It'll [G]be here in a minute you'll [C]wave and I'll look [G]back
[G]I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the [D7]smoke along the [G]track
