[Chorus]
    C          D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G      G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down


[Verse 1]
          C     D    G
I'm gonna catch me a freight train
         C            D        G
Lord I'm leaving this lonesome town
          C         D       G         G7
The one I loved and gave my heart to
            C        D         G
For someone else she turned me down


[Chorus]
 C             D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G      G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down


[Verse 2]
        C       D                G
There's sixteen cars behind each engine
              C                 D          G
I'll ride the last one till the end of the line
             C          D                G       G7
I don't know where I'll go or where I'll wind up
        C        D               G
Just anything to ease my worried mind


[Chorus]
 C             D               G
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
       C         D        G
Let me hear that lonesome sound
       C               D              G      G7
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
          C         D         G
The one I loved has turned me down
