D               A
Thrown off the bridge
       D            G
To the river by the ridge
        D             G  D
Was the iron mountain baby

D             A
A man walking by
         D            G
Said he heard a little cry
        D              A   D
And he found him in a suitcase

D           A
Fifty feet down
          D            G
from the train to the ground
       D               A  D
It's a miracle that he survived
D            A              D             G
What are the chances that a man would be standin' there
     D                G    D
And take him home to his wife

[Chorus 1]

D          A         D               G         D                A   D
Five days old with a hand that could hold in a grip around your finger
D          A          D               G               D               G   D
Old Sarah Jane, no she never did complain, cause she loved the little stranger

     D                   A
She brought him back to health
        D            G
And she kept him for herself
          D               A     D
When some women tried to claim him
            D          A            D              G
"If you'd been a good mama then you never would've wanna
          D                     G    D
Gone and thrown him off of the train then"

Woo oo baby!
G    D         A      D
Woo oo you're my baby now!

   D             A
A picture in the paper
D                       G
Showed the baby like an angel
         D              A   D
With the savior and the suitcase
D           A
What kind of devil
           D                  G
Could have thrown the little fellow
         D              G     D
Off the train in the first place?
      D           A           D            G              D          A D
His mama must've died givin' birth to the child, and the daddy went crazy
 D          G        D                 G               A          D
Got on the train with a heart full of pain and took it out on the baby

A civil war vet went to see if he could get a bit of timber for a new barn
     D        A              D         G             A          D
The number 4 sped. From the train overhead came the itty bitty newborn
