Greenville Trestle Doc Watson (capo 3 in F)
[D]I remember as a [D7]boy how in [G]wonderment and [D]joy
I'd watch the trains as they'd go [A]by[A7]
and the [D]whistle's lonesome [D7]sound you could [G]hear for miles [D]around
as they [D]rolled across that [D7]Greenville Trestle [A]high[A7]
but the [G]whistle's don't sound like they [D]used to
lately not many trains go [A]by[A7]
hard [D]times across the [D7]land mean no [G]work for the railroad[D] man
and the [D]Greenville Trestle [A]now don't [A7]seem so [D]high
verse interlude
on the [D]river bank I'd [D7]stand with a [G]cane pole in my [D]hand
watch the freight trains up against the [A]sky[A7]
with the [D]black smoke rolling [D7]back as they [G]moved along the [D]track
as they moved along the track
that runs across the Greenville Trestle high
but the whistle's don't sound like they used to
lately not many trains go by
hard times across this land mean no work for a railroad man
and the Greenville Trestle now don't seem so high
verse and refrain interlude
when the lonesome whistle's whined
I'd get rambling on my mind
Lord, I wish they still sounded that way
as I turned to head for home
Lord, she'd rumble low and long
toward the sunset at the close of day
but the whistle's don't sound like they used to
lately not many trains go by
hard times across the land mean no work for a railroad man
and the Greenville Trestle now don't seem so high
no, the Greenville Trestle now don't seem so high
