My Burden With Me

        G         D
  I was on that train
Em             C
  To the border town
        G         D
  I was on that train
       C        G
  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           G
  As I said my farewell

       G        D        Em       C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
        G       D           C        G
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?

          G             D
Where the Mackinaw river
  Em            C
Meets the great Illinois
G               D
There I gave my love
     C        G
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            G
A star-crossed child

       G        D        Em       C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
        G       D           C        G
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?

           G      D
  Well the burden grew
Em               C
  And we planned our escape
         G        D
  He said, I will meet you
          C             G
  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           G
  And my burden with me

       G        D        Em       C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
        G       D           C        G
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
       G        D        Em       C
Do you see that dove who flies to me?
        G       D           C        G
Can you hear my love as she cries to sleep?
