I lost all my money in a crooked poker game 

                           C7 
Now I'm going home on this old freight train 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

          G7                                    C 
I got the boxcar blues and Lord I may never get back 



C 
Well I am so lonely I think I could die 

                             C7 
These ain't cinders they are tears in my eyes 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

          G7                                    C 
I got the boxcar blues and Lord I may never get back 



C 
I dream of my big baked biscuit in the pan 

                         C7 
I dream of my woman with another man 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

          G7                                    C 
I got the boxcar blues and Lord I may never get back 



C 
When I get back home I'll get down on my knees 

                               C7 
I'll beg to my woman to have a little mercy please 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

          G7                                    C 
I got the boxcar blues and Lord I may never get back 



C 
Now let me tell you brother it just ain't so 

                         C7 
There ain't no easy life for a bored hobo 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

          G7                                    C 
I got the boxcar blues and Lord I may never get back 



C 
No listen to brother and take my advice 

                          C7 
Stay away from trains and them loaded dice 

          F                                C 
I got the boxcar blues shuffle on down the tracks 

               G7                                      C 
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back 



               G7                                      C 
You'll get the boxcar blues and Lord you may never get back
