[Verse]
G By a lonely railroad station C G A dog sits patiently
And as each train rolls down the track
D He watches eagerly G But the one that he is waiting for C G Does not come off the train C G And when the crowds have gone their way D G He drops his head again
[Chorus]
C G Cause he doesn't know his master lay C G On the battle field to die C G He didn't hear the soldier say D G Rusty it's goodbye G It's many months now since the day C G He saw his master go
A figure clad in khaki
D Is one he'll always know G But the lonely dog keeps waiting C G For each long days the same C G He longs to see his masters face D G And hear him call his name
[Chorus]
G Rusty he'll not see again C G The pal he's waiting for
Their happy days together
D Gone forever more G The station master sees him there C G And knows why he's alone C G Although he can't replace his lost D G He treats him as his own
Repeat chorus
