[Verse]
D G
But I'm down here on this track
G D
Not a shirt upon my back
D G A A
I will sell to you this island that I own
D G
Yes, I feed the mouths I took
G D
But as down winds on the brook
G A D D
Lord, I'm nine hundred miles from my home
[Verse]
D G
If my old lady, she says so
G D
I'll railroad no more
D G A A
Sidetrack this engine, but I still roam
D G
Yes, I've given in my call
G D
I've gladly given it all
G A D D
Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
[Verse]
D G
If I get down by the bank
G D
And the river still does run
D G A A
Yes, and everything I see turns to foam
D G
And even down on the ocean side
G D
Uh, she don't wade in just to bang my pride
G A D D
Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
[Outro]
D G
Oh, Mary don't you moan
G D
Don't you weep on the ground
D G A A
Oh, Mary don't you weep and don't you moan
D G
If I get myself in line
G D
I will be there in due time
G A D
Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
