From A Boxcar Door Chords & Lyrics - Boxcar Willie

[G]I've seen the 'gators and the skeeters

Down in the swamps of Louisi[D7]an

I've seen the Painted Desert

I've traveled across Texas burning [G]sand


I've seen the great Rocky Mountains

That reach up where the [G7]mighty eagle [C]soars

You know [D7]big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar [G]door


I've seen those wheat fields out in Kansas

In Iowa I've watched the tall corn [D7]grow


Seen 'em picking fruit in Florida

Watched 'em digging taters up in Ida[G]ho


I've seen the factories in Detroit

I've seen a small [G7]country general [C]store

And [D7]big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar [G]door


I've seen the coal mines in Kentucky

I've seen the steel mills in Birming[D7]ham


I've seen the Appalachians seen the Hoover

And I've seen every other [G]dam


I've seen the great Salt Lake in Utah

I've heard the mighty [G7]Ni-agra [C]roar

Yeah [D7]big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar [G]door


I've seen the great Potomac River

The wide Missouri and the O-hi-[D7]o


I've seen the Colorado

I've watched the mighty Mississippi [G]flow


I've seen the great Atlantic Ocean

I've seen California's [G7]golden [C]shore

You know [D7]big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar [G]door


I've seen the black man in the ghettos

On the reservation I've watched the Nava[D7]jo


I've seen the migrant workers

In the fields from Maine down to Mexi[G]co


I've seen the rich man in his penthouse

The shanties and the [G7]shacks of the [C]poor

Yeah [D7]big or small I've seen it all

From a boxcar [G]door


But my travels are not over

There's lots more that I've just gotta [D7]see


Every day's a new adventure

And I thank the Lord for letting me be [G]free


When I hop aboard a boxcar

And hear that mighty [G7]engine start to [C]roar

You know [D7]big or small I'll see you all

From a boxcar [G]door

Yeah [D7]big or small I'll see you all from a boxcar [G]door
