Verse 1
Big (G major) cloud caught a pipe of good tea, man's
shirt blew on the (D major) railroad rail. (G major)
The old puff horse was just (C major) pullin' through,
(G major) and a man wore a pink late -river.
(D major) I'm on the (G major) farm where the (C major) hobo was run,
(G major) the air brakes would boot (F major) each other.
(G major) Oh, I don't care, there's no place (C major) there.
(G major) I don't think it even matter (D major) s.
My clothes blazin' (G major) through, and my clothes and skin blazin' (D major) through,
and (G major) my clothes (D major) are in two, and my skin's (G major) blazin' through, and my clothes in tatter (D major) s.
And the railroad looked like a
(G major) wild hill of (D major) ladders.
One shoe fell on the (G major) gravel,
one stick poked (C major) down.
(G major) Grave age fell down a (D major) pair of ears.
An eagle (C major) shined through
(G major) my whole watch pocket.
The young girl, baby girl, passed me by in tears,
and a jackrabbit raised (C major) his folded ears.
A (G major) beautiful sagebrush jackrabbit,
and an oriole sang like an orange,
His breast full of worms,
and his (D major) tail clawed the evening (G major) like a (C major) hammer.
And (D major) my rain can caught me a cup of water,
and his wings took air (G major) like a bomber.
(D major) Oh, when I got into town, (G major) I jogged (E minor) now.
(D major) Ah, (G major) your horse, (D major) I'll fodder, I'm a roundhouse man, (G major)
I once was (D major) your father,
Come little one, with your little dimple fingers,
(G major) gimme one,
And I'll buy you a cherry phosphate,
(D major) Take you down to the
foaming brine (G major) and water,
An (D major) d show you the one (G major) who tips on the goddess with a pull -out full (E minor) sail,
at (C major) tempting (G major) to weigh your (D major) pig -legged father.
(G major) I'm (D major) the roundhouse man,
(G major) I once was (C major) your father (D major) .
(G major) I was
Shanghai, my hi -hat fever,
(C major) mustache man, and his pirate friend.
I (G major) woke up in (D major) vomiting (G major) beer in a banana (C major) bin
with a (D major) soft glass (G major) with brown skin.
Born me seven babies with snapping black
eyes (G major) an d beautiful (C major) emmy skin.
(G major) And here it is, I'm with you (D major) my daughter.
30 years away can make a seaman's eyes,
a roundhouse man's eyes,
flow out water, salt (D major) water.
