C G7
Charleston Railroad Tavern
C
Sitting up till I'm blind
F
She left on that 5-0-9
G7 C
Eastern standard blue time
G7
My baby left this evening
C
I'd changed all this if I could
F
But her train just pulled out of sight
G7 C
I know she's gone for good
Repeat #1
G7
I stayed out so many nights
C
The crowd downtown was fun
F
But her love had turned to hate before
G7 C
I knew the harm I'd done
G7
Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone
C
I'm so lonesome I could die
F
The man just said it's closing time
G7 C
Guess I'll go home and cry
Repeat #1
