Lyrics

[Intro]
| G - - - | Gm7b5 - F/G - | G G7 G6 - |

[Verse 1]
D7/F#      G                   G7
     And I followed her to the station,
with a suitcase in my hand
               C
And I followed her to the station,
with a suitcase in my hand
G7 D7/F# G           A7
          Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell,
D7/F#
     when all your love's in vain
G G7     G6     Gaug    D7/F#
  All my love's in  vain

[Verse 2]
         G                      G7
When the train rolled up to the station,
I looked her in the eye
               C
When the train rolled up to the station,
and I looked her in the eye
G7 D7/F# G            A7
          Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome,
D7/F#
     and I could not help but cry
G G7     G6     Gaug    D7/F#
  All my love's in  vain

[Verse 3]
         G                  G7
When the train, it left the station,
with two lights on behind
               C
When the train, it left the station,
with two lights on behind
G7 D7/F# G          A7
          Well, the blue light was my blues,
D7/F#
     and the red light was my mind
G G7     G6     Gaug    D7/F#
  All my love's in  vain

[Outro]
    G   G7
Hoo hoo,  ooh, Willie Mae
     C
Oh oh hey, hoo, Willie Mae
G7 D7/F# G    A7  D7/F#                G
          Hoo hoo,     ooh, eeh, oh woe
G7     G6    Gaug   D7/F# G
All my love's    in vain
