Traditional {Refrain} Goin’ down to the river gonna take along my rockin’ chair, and if the blues don’t get me Gonna rock, gonna rock away from here. / C E7 / F D / CA7 D7 G7 / I’m gonna lay my head down on some lonesome railroad line and let the 2:19 Come a-long, ‘s’gonna pacify my mind / C E7 / F D / CA7 D7 G7 C / {Refrain} I keep movin’ on down this railroad line, I got a heavy load, I got a worried mind, Tryin’ to find some place to settle down. / C E7 / F D / C A7 D7 G7 / Well there’s just one thing I’d like to know and that’s where in the world can a poor man go When he’s tired of travelin’ round from town to town. / C E7 / F D / CA7 D7 G7 C G7 / {Refrain} Well they arrested me in a town down South, I had empty pockets, I was down in the mouth They locked me up and threw away the key. I had bad food and a dirty cell, so I hit that guard and I ran like hell, Sheriff he’s still askin’ round about me. {Refrain} I’m gonna lay my head down on some lonesome railroad line and let the 2:19 Come a-long, ‘s’gonna pacify my mind |
