 GOLDEN ROCKET<br/>
 Hank Snow<br/>
 <br/>
 [E] From old Montana down to Alabam'<br/>
 I've [A] been before and I'll travel again<br/>
 You [E] triflin' women can't keep a good man [B7] down<br/>
 You [E] dealt the cards, but you missed the play<br/>
 So [A] hit the road and be on your way<br/>
 Gonna [E] board the Golden [B7] Rocket and leave this [E] town.<br/>
 <br/>
 I was a good engine a-runnin' on time<br/>
 But baby I'm switchin' to another line<br/>
 So honey never hang your signal out for me<br/>
 I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track<br/>
 Bought a one-way ticket and I won't be back<br/>
 This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away.<br/>
 <br/>
 Hear that lonesome whistle blow<br/>
 That's your cue and by now you know<br/>
 That I got another true lover waitin' in Tennessee<br/>
 This Midnight Special's a-burnin' the rail<br/>
 So woman don't try to follow my trail<br/>
 This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away.<br/>
 <br/>
 Hear her thunder on through the night<br/>
 This Golden Rocket is a-doin' me right<br/>
 And that sunny old Southland sure is a part of me<br/>
 Now from your call-board erase my name<br/>
 Your fire went out, you done lost your flame<br/>
 And this Golden Rocket is a-rollin' my blues away.<br/>
 <br/>
 That old conductor, he seemed to know<br/>
 You'd done me wrong, I was feelin' low<br/>
 For he yelled aloud, "We're over that Dixon Line"<br/>
 The brakeman started singing a song<br/>
 Said "You're worried now, but it won't be long<br/>
 This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind."<br/>
 <br/>
 Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl<br/>
 Let's "rise and shine, good mornin', you-all"<br/>
 And I sprang to my feet to greet the new-born day<br/>
 When I kissed my baby in the station door<br/>
 That whistle blew like it never before<br/>
 On the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away.
