G 
Well who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot
 G           D          G
Who's gonna glove your hand
 G                      D        G
Who's gonna kiss your red ruby lips
 G              D        G  
And who's gonna be your man

 G
Is that you Reuben?
 G
Is that you Reuben?
 G               D         
Where have you been so long? X2

Well papa's gonna shoe my pretty little foot
Mama's gonna glove my hand
Sister's gonna kiss my red ruby lips
And I don't need no man

Well I don't need no man, no
I don't need no man
Sister's gonna kiss my red ruby lips
And I don't need no man

Well the longest train that I ever saw
It was 90 coaches long
And the only man that I ever loved
He was on that train and gone

Chorus

Oh where'd you get that hat you wear
And that coat you got so fine
Well I got my hat from a railroad man
And my coat from a worker in the mine

Chorus

Well Reuben made a train and he put it on the track
Run it to the lord knows where
Reuben made a train and he put it on the track
Run it to the lord knows where
