Biography:
Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").

Verse 1:
G Em
There's a tiny village with its landscape painted green
C G D
A firehouse, a general store, all the streets are clean
G Em
The people in the village love to hear that whistle sound
C D G
And they all wave at Jackie when the engine comes around.
Chorus:
G Em
They say roll train roll
C
The steel and all its rhythm
G D
are sweet music to his soul.
C
You'll be riding safe tonight
Em
Come hell or freezing rain
C
The red caps got your baggage
D - G
All Aboard!! Jackies Train
Verse 2:
G
A cow strays from the meadow
Em
She's stranded on the track
C
Jackie's fingers lift her up
G D
Then gently put her back
G
the train chugs on down the line
Em
Through the kitchen and the den
C
Disappearing under Jackies bed
D G
And back to town again.
Chorus
Em C
Jackie never stops the train when he's home all alone
Em C D
He keeps her rolling round and round till mama, comes home
Break: G Em C G-D
G Em C D-G
G Em C
Jackie can't go out to play, the village needs him there
G D
Every little detail of the train gets all his care
G Em
Gotta keep it rolling, gotta stay on time
C
When he dies they'll honor him
D G
For miles on down the line.
