D
He rode the rails since the great depression
A
Fifty years out on the skids
He said you don't cross nobody
D
You'll be all right out here kid
Left my family in Pennsylvania
A
Searchin' for work I hit the road
I met Frank in east Texas
D
In a freight yard blown through with snow
From New Mexico to Colorado
A
California to the sea
Frank he showed me the ropes, sir
D
Just till I could get back on my feet
I hoed sugar beets outside of Firebaugh
A
I picked the peaches from the Marysville tree
They bunked us in a barn just like animals
D | D | A | D
Me and a hundred others just like me
We split up come the spring time
A
I never seen Frank again
'Cept one rainy night he blew by me on grainer
D
Shouted my name and disappeared in the rain and the wind
They found him shot dead outside Stockton
A
His body lyin' on a muddy hill
Nothin' taken, nothin' stolen
D | D | A | D
Somebody killed him just to kill
A D
Late that summer I was rollin' through the plains of Texas
G D
A vision passed before my eyes
A D
A small house sittin' trackside
A D
With the glow of the saviours beautiful light
A D
A woman stood cookin' in the kitchen
G D
Kid sat at the table with his old man
A D
Now I wonder does my son miss me
A D | D | A | D
Does he wonder where I am
Tonight I pick my campsite carefully
A
Outside the Sacramento Yard
Gather some wood and light a fire
D
In the early winter dark
Wind whistling cold I pull my coat around me
A
Make some coffee and stare out into the black night
I lie awake, I lie awake sir
D
With my machete by my side
My Jesus your gracious love and mercy
A
Tonight I'm sorry could not fill my heart
Like one good rifle
D
And the name of who I ought to kill
