He [E]looked down at me and said your life’s a ruin [C#7]
[F#]If I were you I'd break right down and [B7]cry
But no[E]body seems to care that I ain't guilty
I [A]never did the things they said I've [E]done
But I [E]guess they're gonna have to hang some[C#7]body
And it's [F#]lookin like I'm [B7]gonna be the [E]one
[CHORUS]
So [A]send my body home on a [E]freight train
And don't [A]worry none that I don't go first [E]class
[A]Send my body home on a [E]freight train [C#7]
So [F#]everyone can see me when I [B7]pass
And don't [A]worry none about no fancy [E]funeral
Cause [A]it don’t matter how they lay me [E]down
Just [A]see they bury me out by [E]mama's apple [C#7]tree
And [F#]send my body [B7]back to my home [E]town

And she [A]tried to raise us kids without a [E]paw
The last thing that she said she was on her dying [C#7]bed
