Verse 1
of the Santa Fe
D
Stood a freight made up for the east
And the engineer with his oil and waste
G
Was groomin' the great iron beast
Verse 2
G
While ten cars back in the murky dust
C
A box- car door swung wide
D
And a hobo lifted his pal aboard
G
To start on his last long ride
Verse 3
freight pulled out
G
The engine, it gathered speed
C
The engineer pulled the throttle wide
A
D
And clucked to his fiery steed
Verse 4
G
Ten cars back in the empty box
A
The flare of the match showed
G
Stark white and deathly still
Verse 5
G
As the train wheels clicked on
the couplin' joints
C
A song for the rambler's ear
D
The hobo talked to the still white form
His pal for many a year
G
Verse 6
For a mighty long time,
we've rambled, Jack
D
With the luck of men that roam
With the back door steps for a dining room
And the box- car for a home
G
Verse 7
We dodged the bulls on
G
And the cops on the Chesapeake
D
We traveled the Leadville narrow gauge
G
In the days of Cripple Creek
Verse 8
G
We drifted down through sunny Cal
D
On the rails of the old SP
And of all you had, through good and bad
G
A half always belong to me
Verse 9
G
You made me promise to you, Jack
D
If I lived and you cashed in
Bb
To take you back to the old churchyard
D
And bury you there with your kin
G
Verse 10
You seemed to know I
would keep my word
D
For you said that I was wild
Well, I'm keepin' my promise to you,
pal
'Cause I'm takin' you home tonight
G
Verse 11
I hadn't the money to send you there
D
So, I'm takin' you back on the fly
It's the decent way for a 'bo to go
Verse 12
G
I knew that fever had you, Jack
D
And that doctor just wouldn't come
He was too busy treatin' the wealthy folks
To doctor a worn out bum
G
Verse 13
As the train rolled over its
ribbon of steel
D
Straight through to the east, it sped
The engineer in his high cab seat
G
Kept his eye on the rails ahead
Verse 14
G
While ten cars back in the
empty box
D
For the days of old and his pal so cold

Was taking his last long ride
