Verse 1
On a (C major)
cold winter night
Not a star (F major) was in sight
An' the (C major) north wind came
Howlin' down the line
(G major) With his sweetheart, so dear
Stood a (C major) brave engineer
With (F major) his (C major) orders to (G major) pull ole number nine (C major)
She (G major) kissed him goodbye
With (C major) tears in his eyes
An' a (F major) joy in her (C major) heart
She couldn't hide (G major)
(C major) For the whole (F major) world was bright
When she told him that night
To (C major) morrow she'd (G major) be his blushin' bride

Verse 2
(C major) As (F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) the wheels hummed the song
As the train (F major) rolled along
An' the (C major) black smoke come
pourin' from the stack (G major)
As the (C major) headlight a gleam
Seemed to (F major) brighten' his dream
For to (C major) morrow he'd (G major) be comin' back (C major)
He speed (G major) up the hill
But his (C major) brave head was still
For the (F major) headlight was shining (C major) in his face
(G major) He whispered a prayer
As he threw (C major) on the air (F major)
For he knew (C major) it would (G major) be his final (C major) race

Verse 3
In the wreck (C major) he was found
Lying (F major) there on the ground
An' he (C major) ask them to raise his weary (G major) head
As his (C major) breath slowla went
This mes (F major) sage he sent
To the (C major) maiden who thought
that (G major) they'd be (C major) wed
Have a (G major) little white home
That I bought (C major) for our own
Where I'd (F major) dreamed we'd be (C major) happy,
bye an' bye (G major)
But (C major) I leave it to you
For I (F major) know you'll be true
Till we (C major) meet at the (G major) Golden Gate,
good (C major) bye
