       Fm7                      Fm7
I lost everything I had in the '29 flood
Fm7                          Cm7
The barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud
         Fm7                 Fm7
Now I've got nothing but the whistle and the steam
Fm7                      Fm7
My baby's leaving on the 2:19
              Fm7                                Fm7
Now there's a fellow that's preaching 'bout hell and damnation
Fm7                           Cm7
Bouncing off the walls in the Grand Central Station
  Fm7              Fm7
I treated her bad, I treated her mean
Fm7                      Fm7
My baby's leaving on the 2:19

[Chorus]

       Fm7       Fm7
I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Fm7       Cm7
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Fm7       Bbm7
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Fm7                      Fm7
My baby's leaving on the 2:19

[Verse]

         Fm7                        Fm7
Now I've always been puzzled by the yin and the yang
     Fm7                     Fm7
Come out in the wash, but it always leaves a stain
Fm7                  Fm7
Sturm and Drang, the luster and the sheen
Fm7                      Fm7
My baby's leaving on the 2:19
         Fm7                                   Fm7
Toss the baby with the water, and the preacher stole the bride
     Fm7                            Cm7
Sent her out for a bottle, but when she came back inside
       Fm7                         Fm
Didn't have my whiskey, she didn't have my gin
      Fm                   Fm7          Fm
But a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin

[Chorus]

Fm   Fm7    Fm              Fm
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Fm7       Cm7             Cm
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Fm7         Bb                 Bb
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Fm Fm7            Cm7
My baby's leaving on the 2:19

       Fm7                               Fm
On the train you get smaller, as you get further away
    Fm7                        Cm
The roar covers everything you wanted to say
Cm         Fm7      Fm7           Bb
Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye?
Bb       Fm7                  F
Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?

[Chorus]
