[Verse]
G
By a lonely railroad station
C G
A dog sits patiently
And as each train rolls down the track
D
He watches eagerly
G
But the one that he is waiting for
C G
Does not come off the train
C G
And when the crowds have gone their way
D G
He drops his head again
[Chorus]
C G
Cause he doesn't know his master lay
C G
On the battle field to die
C G
He didn't hear the soldier say
D G
Rusty it's goodbye
G
It's many months now since the day
C G
He saw his master go
A figure clad in khaki
D
Is one he'll always know
G
But the lonely dog keeps waiting
C G
For each long days the same
C G
He longs to see his masters face
D G
And hear him call his name
[Chorus]
G
Rusty he'll not see again
C G
The pal he's waiting for
Their happy days together
D
Gone forever more
G
The station master sees him there
C G
And knows why he's alone
C G
Although he can't replace his lost
D G
He treats him as his own
Repeat chorus
