Verse 1:

E A E
From Maine to San Francisco, for years, I rode the rails

E A E
Coast to coast, and border to border, I've been in about every jail

C G
One night around the Golden Gate, I caught a freight, and layin' in the bottom of the boxcar was a man

E
Named Billy Jack Washburn

Through the rain and the wind the train was flyin', I knew the man was layin' there dyin'

C G D
I had to try and save a man, with nothin' but my two bare hands and I did

He was just a kid

Verse 2:

E A E
Now me and Billy Jack, we laid around a few hobo camps for awhile

E A E
'Til Billy Jack got his strength back, and the sunshine gave him back his smile

C G D
We decided we would leave, and head on down to New Orleans, and we did

Me and the kid

But things weren't like they were before, I never had a friend jumpin' from the door

G D
I treated him like I was his dad, and gave him everything I had, which was nothin'

C D
Just the love for a friend, and a friend he was, 'til I lost him

Bridge:

Bm A
Billy Jack Washburn was his name

G D
I lost him down around Jacksonville, when he fell from the train

Bm A
I rolled off, and I hit the ground

G D
I picked his body up and carried him all the way back to town

C D
He was a friend of mine

Verse 3:

E A E
Now here I am, in Macon, Georgia, to help lay Billy Jack in the ground

E A E
And by the way, Macon, Georgia, is my hometown

C G D
When I picked his billfold up, I saw a picture of his mama and her name

And I cried like a baby

C D
'Cuz his mama, and my mama were the same

G C D
Well I haven't been home in twenty-six years, and when I do come home, it has to be like this

G C D
Sometimes old lady fate, she deals a terrible kiss

Bridge 2:

Bm A
Billy Jack Washburn was his so-called name

G D
I lost him down around Jacksonville, when he fell from the train

C G
But I lost more than a friend

C D
I'll never see my brother again
