The Old Iron Trail Chords & Lyrics - Boxcar Willie

[C]Well the old iron trail is a [F]railroad track it [C]runs all over our [G7]land

And [C]I had traveled every [F]foot of it [G7]before I was a [C]man

My daddy told me [F]stories he [C]told me some pretty wild [G7]tales

Of [C]long ago when [F]he was a beau and [C]traveled [G7]the old iron [C]trail

And he said well there ain’t no sofas in a [F]boxcar [C]there ain’t no feather [G7]bed

There [C]ain’t no carpet [F]for your feet [G7]no pillows to lay your [C]head

There ain’t no milk and [F]honey [C]there ain’t no beer and [G7]ale

[C]Life is hell the [F]bread is stale [C]out on the [G7]old iron [C]trail

Well I’m just like my [F]daddy there’s [C]hobo blood in [G7]me

And [C]that old iron trail [F]that he knew so well [G7]soon was a-callin’ [C]me

I traveled all over this [F]country [C]over ever hill and [G7]dale

[C]Riding on an [F]old boxcar I [C]traveled the [G7]old iron [C]trail

I want’cha to know there ain't no sofas in a [F]boxcar [C]there ain’t no feather [G7]bed

There [C]ain’t no carpet [F]for your feet [G7]no pillows to lay your [C]head

There ain’t no milk and [F]honey [C]there ain’t no beer and [G7]ale

[C]Life is hell the [F]bread is stale [C]out on the [G7]old iron [C]trail

NC

Better listen to me boys it ain’t no life of Riley out there
Stay home never roam I know what I’m talking about
Wished I’d listened to my dad
He’s a lot smarter than I gave him credit for

Yeah there ain’t no milk and [F]honey [C]there ain’t no beer and [G7]ale

[C]Life is hell the [F]bread is stale [C]out on the [G7]old iron [C]trail
