I rode your ocean liner to Newfoundland

Where I made a living in an iron mine 
        C                            D7  
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia 
       A7                              D7  
And I fished the salty waters for a time 
 
         G                                      Am  
Passing through Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick

I could see the rocks and cliffs of solid stone

Listening to the seagulls calling to each other 
                                        G  
Made me miss my darling and my distant home

Through the valleys and the forests 
 D7                       G  
To the sunshine of her smile

Cross the plains and the rugged mountains 
 D7                             G

The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon 
     Em                                   D7  
And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track 
       C                                    D7  
For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving

In Ontario I was a lumberjack

Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed

Where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed 
        C                                   D7  
In the quiet hours your whistling on the prairie 
                                      G  
Touched my heart and set my memories aglow 
 
                                             Am  
I could feel the nearness of her warm sweet kisses 
          Em                             D7  
When you rolled into Alberta westward bound 
          C                            D7  
I worked on an oil rig to make some money 
       A7                            D7  
For a ticket to the sweetest girl around 
 
 G                                        Am  
Pushing on past Lake Louise in all its splendor 
           Em                                D7  
Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above 
       C                         D7  
I got to British Columbia and heaven 
                                         G  
On your track I made it back to my true love

Oh Lord how they did love 
 C                                                  G  
Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above 
            D7                           G  
He was her man but he wouldn't do her wrong 
 
Now Frankie went down to the corner 
Just for a bucket of beer 
     C                                              G

He's your man but he's doing you wrong 
 
Now Frankie looked over the transom 
She saw to her surprise 
       C                                               G  
There on the couch sat Johnny making love to Nellie Blie 
         D7                      G  
He's my man but he's doing me wrong 
 
Frankie threw back her Kimono 
Took out her little 44 
    C                                                          G  
Rutty too-too three times she shot right through that hardwood door
          D7                     G  
Shot her man he was doing her wrong 
 
Now bring out your rubber tired hearses 
Bring out your rubber tired hack

I'm taken my man to the graveyard and I ain't gonna bring him back 
           D7                   G

To lock me down in that dungeon cell and throw that key away 
           D7                    G  
I shot my man he was doing me wrong 
 
Now Frankie she said to the warden 
What are they going to do 
     C                                                       G

               D7                     G

He was her man but he done her wrong

Everyday you love me less, each day I love you more.

Heartache number three was when you called me,

Just to think it could be, 
A
Time has opened the door.

And at last I am free, 
A
I don’t hurt anymore. 
 
D
No use to deny, I wanted to die, 
A
The day you said we were through, 
B7
But now that I find, you’re out of my mind, 
E  A
I can’t believe that it’s true.

I’ve forgotten somehow,

That I cared so before, 
E
And it’s wonderful now, 
A
I don’t hurt anymore.

So I'm movin' on 
  
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew 
Said hello to the southland we're comin' to you 
And we're movin' on oh hear my song 
You had the laugh on me so I set you free 
And I'm movin' on 
  
Mister fireman won't you please listen to me 
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee 
Keep movin' me on keep rollin' on 
So shovel the coal let this rattler roll 
And keep movin' me on 
  
Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand 
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land 
To deep movin' me on keep rollin' on 
You gonna ease my mind put me there on time 
And keep rollin' on 
  
I've told you baby from time to time 
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind 
Now I'm movin' on  I'm rollin' on 
You've broken your vow and it's all over now 
So I'm movin' on 
  
You've switched your engine now I ain't got time 
For a triflin' woman on my mainline 
Cause I'm movin on you done your daddy wrong 
I warned you twice now you can settle the price 
'Cause I'm movin on 
  
But someday baby when you've had your play 
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say 
Keep movin' on you stayed away too long 
I'm through with you too bad you're blue 
Keep movin' on

Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave

I couldn't stand  the way she did me
