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

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