Let The Train Blow The Whistle by Johnny Cash
Let The Train Blow The Whistle
(A)I don't want no aggravation
When my train has left the station
If you're (D) there or not, I may not even (A) know
Have a round and remember (C#7)
Things we (D) did that weren't so tender (A)
Let the train blow the (E) whistle when I go (A)
On my guitar sell tickets So someone can finally pick it
And tell the (D) girls down at the Ritz I said (A) hello
Tell the gossipers and (C#7) liars
I will (D) see them in the (A) fire
Let the train blow the (E) whistle when I (A) go
Let her (D) blow, let her (A) blow
Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow (E)
No (A) regrets, all my (C#7) debts
Will be (D) paid When I get (A) laid
Let her blow, let her (E) blow, let her (A) blow
You'll be left without excuses For the evils and abuses
Down to (D) today from years and years (A) ago
And have yourself another (C#7) toke
From my (D) basket full of (A) smoke
And let the train blow the (E) whistle when I (A) go
Let her (D) blow, let her (A) blow
Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow (E)
No (A) regrets, all my (C#7) debts will be (D) paid
When I get (A) laid
Let her blow, let her (A) blow, let her (A) blow
