[Verse]
A
Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing

   D                           A
he sentenced me to hang in mid-july

A
He look down at me and said you are a ruin

B7                                     E
If I were you I'd break right down and cry

    A
But nobody seems to care that I ain't guilty

  D                                   A
I never did the things they said I've done

A
But it looks like they're gonna to hang somebody

         E                               A
and it's lookin like I'm goin to be the one
[Chorus]
A         D                      A
(So just) send my body home on a freight train

    D                                A
and don't worry none that I don't go first class

D                      A
Send my body home on a freight train

B7                            E
So everyone can see me when I pass

          D                         A
and don't worry none about no fancy funeral

D                               A
it don't matter how they lay me down

D                       A
see they bury me out by mama's apple tree

                      E               A
and just send my body back to my home town
