Lonesome Pine Special
View chords used in this chart
(A) Well I went walking out this morning
With (E) rambling on my (A) mind
I am going to (D) catch the (A) special
That (E) train called Lonesome (A) Pine
Can't you hear the whistle blowin'
As she's (E) coming down the (A) line
It?s a train I?ll (D) catch this (A) morning
For to (E) ease my worried (A) mind
(E) Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-(A)-lay
(E) Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-(A)-lay
(D) Take me back to (A) Texas
(E) Back to my old (A) home
Well I?ve been weeping like a willow
And I've been mourning like a dove
There's a girl way out in Texas
That I know I really love
Won?t you take me back to Texas
Where the lonesome coyotes whine
Where the longhorn cattle are roaming
Around that cabin home of mine
Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay
Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay
Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
