F C7
D lonely spot I know where no man will go
F
Where the shadows have all the room
C7 F
I was riding free on that old S-P
G7 C7
Humming a southern tune
F A#
When a man came along made me hush my song
F C7 F
Kicked me off away out there
C7
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
F
The left and everywhere
C7 F
All I could see was a cactus tree
G7 C7
D prairie dog playing there
F A#
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed
F C7 F
That's his home away out there
A# F
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
C7 B C7 F
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
C7
Then I threw down my load in the desert road
F
Rested my weary legs too
C7 F
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run
G7 C7
Across that barren plain
F A#
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon
F C7 F
He gets lonesome way out there
C7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
F
Lost myself in dreams
C7 F
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land
G7 C7
Then I awoke with the dawn
F A#
There's a train coming back on the one-way track
F C7 F
Going to take me away from here
A# F
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
C7 B C7 F
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
