G                                   C
Well, it was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
G                            D
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
G                            C
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
G                         D               G
You never even called me by my name

G                             C
You don't have to call me Warden, Warden
G                       D

G                                  C

And I went to pick her up in the rain
G                                   C
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
G                             D                  G
She got runned over by a damned old train

G                             C
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
G                          D
I never minded
