Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 We parted company at the railway track

 I had a chance for feeling sorry, or never looking back

 I got on that train I must confess I shed a tear

 She stayed in the tropics for the rest of the year

Verse 2

It was October, but by then I had my doubts

we once had something but by then I wanted out

we stayed with a friend that I had always held quite dear

She loved him in the tropics for the rest of the year

Chorus

I lost my lover, but I'll get over that

to find another, where's the sense in that?

I got on that train I must confess I shed a tear

but she stayed in the tropics for the rest of the year

REPEAT VERSE 2

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
