Joe's Last Train
Artist: Country Gentlemen
Album: Joe's Last Train
Written by: Leroy Drumm and Pete Goble
AStanding by the Drailway tracks,
his chin down on his Achest
The old man couldn’t catch the train,
although he tried his E7best
The Dsleeping roll, the E7coffee pot,
the Djug half full of Awine
He threw inside the Dbox car,
that E7went on down the Aline
Poor old DJoe’s to E7old to catch a Atrain
But Dsomething keeps him trying just the E7same
Old Asoldiers and old sailors have a place to Dgo
ABut no one helps a Drailroad bum like E7poor old hobo AJoe
ASomewhere in his Dmemories,
there lives a younger Aman
Who tried to leave the busy world,
he didn’t underE7stand
He Dgave it up and E7caught a train
back Dforty years aAgo
Trains kept getting Dfaster
while E7poor old Joe got Aslow
Poor old DJoe’s to E7old to catch a Atrain
But Dsomething keeps him trying just the E7same
Old Asoldiers and old sailors have a place to Dgo
ABut no one helps a Drailroad bum like E7poor old hobo AJoe
He don’t regret the Dlife he’s lived,
the rails have been his Afriend
if nothing else he’s living free
to come and go aE7gain
Though Dtime has come to E7claim its’ toll,
Dage has slowed him Adown
He knows he’ll try his Dluck again,
the E7next train out of Atown
Poor old DJoe’s to E7old to catch a Atrain
But Dsomething keeps him trying just the E7same
Old Asoldiers and old sailors have a place to Dgo
ABut no one helps a Drailroad bum like E7poor old hobo AJoe
ABut no one helps a Drailroad bum
like E7poor old hobo AJoe
Trains kept getting Dfaster
while E7poor old Joe got Aslow
