D G D
We walked him to the station in the rain
D G A
We kissed him as we put him on the train
G D G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
D A D A
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
G D A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
D
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
G D A D
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane
INTRO
VERSE 5
D G D
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
D G A
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
G D A
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
D G A D
And took the road for heaven in the morning
CHORUS
D G D
We walked him to the station in the rain

We kissed him as we put him on the train
G D G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
D A D A
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
G D A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away

I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
