Many UK singers learned this from Ralph Rinzler.
His version had most of the verses given above, plus
Stood on the platform as her train rolled down the line
Outside I was smiling, inside I was cryin
Cause she's gone, she's solid gone
He ended with
I'll come back in the springtime, back where I belong
If you see me coming you'll hear me sing this song
Sing it now, sing it all day long
Cause she's gone, she's solid gone
(The second last line of this verse uses the same tune as the last line. Makes a lovely resolution to the song.) Ewan
