[Verse 1]
G D Riding down from Bangor on the eastern train, D G After weeks of hunting in the woods of Maine, G D Quite extensive whiskers, beard, moustache as well, D G Sat a student fellow, tall and slim and swell, G D Empty seat behind him, no one at his side, D G Into quiet village eastern train did glide,
[Verse 2]
G D Enter aged couple; take the hindmost seat, D G Enter village maiden, beautiful petite. G D Blushingly she faltered, "Is this seat engaged?" D G See the aged couple properly enraged. G D Student quite ecstatic, sees her ticket "Through" D G Thinks of the long tunnel, thinks what he might do.
[Verse 3]
G D Pleasantly they chatted; how the cinders fly, D G Till the student fellow gets one in his eye, G D Maiden sympathetic turns herself about, D G "May I, if you please, sir, try to get it out?" G D Then the student fellow feels a gentle touch, D G Hears a gentle murmur "Does it hurt you much?" G D Whiz, slap, bang, into tunnel quite, D G Into glorious darkness, black as Egypt's night.
[Verse 4]
G D Out into the daylight glides that eastern train, D G Student's hair is ruffled just the merest grain, G D Maiden seen all blushes when then and there appeared D G A tiny little earring in that horrid student's beard.
