B F#7
G# lonely spot I know where no man will go
B
Where the shadows have all the room
F#7 B
I was riding free on that old S-P
C#7 F#7
Humming a southern tune
B E
When a man came along made me hush my song
B F#7 B
Kicked me off away out there
F#7
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
B
The left and everywhere
F#7 B
All I could see was a cactus tree
C#7 F#7
G# prairie dog playing there
B E
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed
B F#7 B
That's his home away out there

Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
F#7 F F#7 B
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee

Then I threw down my load in the desert road
B
Rested my weary legs too
F#7 B
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run
C#7 F#7
Across that barren plain
B E
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon
B F#7 B
He gets lonesome way out there
F#7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
B
Lost myself in dreams
F#7 B
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land
C#7 F#7
Then I awoke with the dawn
B E
There's a train coming back on the one-way track
B F#7 B
Going to take me away from here
E B
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
F#7 F F#7 B
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
