[Verse 1]
B G#m
This old mandolin is carved out of Pine
C#m F# C#m
Given to me by a hobo down the line
F#
Willed to me with these last words
B G#m C#m F#
"Before I cross over, I'll show you some chords"
[Verse 2]

If the sound of the railroad leaves you feeling all alone

B G#m
This old mandolin is sure full of sand
C#m F#
It'll play out-of-tune if there's a cop on the train
C#m Ebm G#m B G#m E
Sing you the rhythm of the Superchief out of St. Paul
F#
And that ain't all
[Verse 4]
F#7 G#7
This old mandolin'll make a young girl open her window
C#m F#
Like a warm breeze on a rainy night
C#m F#
And like a hex-sign on a barn
G#m F# B F# G#m F#
This old mandolin will keep a hobo from harm
