Gene Clark Kansas City Southern written by Gene Clark E When I was a young boy evening sun went down Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound A E Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was outward bound E Well I'd dream about big cities And the pleaseues I would keep Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep A E I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was outward bound E Well now I've been in a couple of places Seen a couple of things Whenever I think back in time My memory rings A E With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was homeward bound C#m Don't you know how the whistles blows From "The Through The Morning Through The Night LP" Dillard & Clark A & M Records 1969 Rondor Music * On the version from 3 Byrds Land In London use a G chord here
