Verse
G D
I was on that train
Em C
To the border town
G D
I was on that train
C D
I was freedom bound
G D
I was on that train
Em C
When the trestle fell
G D
No arms to hold me
C D
As I said my farewell
Chorus
G D Em C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
G D C D
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
Verse
G D
Where the Mackinaw river
Em C
Meets the great Illinois
G D
There I gave my love

To a low-born boy
G D
I was lost in the light
Em C
Of a flame burning wild
G D
When I felt the stirring of
C D
A star-crossed child
Chorus
G D Em C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
G D C D
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
Verse

Well the burden grew
Em C
And we planned our escape
G D
He said, I will meet you
C D
Up that North Country way
G D
I was just past Eureka
Em C
When the engine broke free
G D
I am gone to God
C D
And my burden with me
Chorus

Do you see that dove who flies to me?

Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
