[Verse]
D
There's a big black train I've been hearin' all my life
C D
Every night at sundown I hear it's lonesome cry
When I look through the screen door I see a rocking chair
C
My mama's sitting in it thinking 'bout that world out there
[Chorus]
G C D G A D
She wants to go over that mountain to see what's on the other side
G C D Bm A D
She said "I want to go over that mountain before the day that I die"
[Verse]
D
She's never set foot out of this poor valley holler
C D
But she talks about her dreams of some other way of life
87 years of living and never had much of anything
C D
Is it asking too much to see a damned old diesel train
[Chorus]
G C D G A D
She wants to go over that mountain to see what's on the other side
G C D Bm A D
She said "I want to go over that mountain before the day that I die"

20 years ago today my daddy left this holler
C D
He said "I'll be coming back tomorrow night"
I remember the sound of his boot heels in the gravel
C D
Well he ain't been back since and he never said goodbye
[Chorus]

She wants to go over that mountain to see what's on the other side
