[Intro]
G C G D7
G C G D7 G
[Verse 1]
G C
Just a mile west of the water tank on a cold November day
C G D7
In a cold and lonesome boxcar a dyin' hobo lay
G C
His pal sat there before him with a low and drooping head
G D7 G
Listenin' to the last words his dyin' buddy said.
[Verse 2]
G C
Goodbye old pardner hobo I hate to say goodbye
C G D7
But I hear my train a-comin' and I know she's a-getting nigh
G C
Gonna tell that old conductor just where I want to stop
G D7 G
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
[Verse 3]
G C
We rode the rods together, we've rambled all around
C G D7
In ev'ry kind of weather, we slept out on the ground
G C
Oh, pardner don't you miss that train that always makes the stop
G D7 G
Where the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
[Instrumental]
G C G D7
G C G D7 G
[Verse 4]
G C
Would you tell my girl in Danville that she need not to worry at all
C G D7
I'm a-goin' to that country where I won't have to work a-tall
G C
No I will not have to work there nor even change my socks
G D7 G
And the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
[Instrumental]
G C G D7
G C G D7 G
[Verse 5]
G C
I'm a-goin' to that better place where ever'thing is right
C G D7
Where the handouts grow on bushes and they sleep out ever' night
G C
Won't have to wash my overhauls nor even change my socks
G D7 G C G D7 G
And the little stream of whiskey comes flowing down the rocks.
