Train on the Island

1
Train on the island hear the whistle blow
5 1
Go tell my true love sick and I can’t go
5
Sick and I can’t go love sick and I can’t go
 

Train on the island Lord I heard her cry
Go tell my true love lonesome I could die
Lonesome I could die love lonesome I could die

Train on the island boys she’s makin’ time
Go tell my true love comin’ down the line
Comin’ down the line love comin’ down the line

Train on the island boy I heard her squeal
Go tell my true love happy I do feel
Happy I do feel love happy I do feel

Train on the island feelin’ mighty low
Go tell my true love as far as I can go
As far as I can go love as far as I can go
