E B7
C# lonely spot I know where no man will go
E
Where the shadows have all the room
B7 E
I was riding free on that old S-P
F#7 B7
Humming a southern tune
E A
When a man came along made me hush my song
E B7 E
Kicked me off away out there
B7
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
E
The left and everywhere
B7 E
All I could see was a cactus tree
F#7 B7
C# prairie dog playing there
E A
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed
E B7 E
That's his home away out there
A E
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
B7 A# B7 E
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
B7
Then I threw down my load in the desert road
E
Rested my weary legs too
B7 E
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run
F#7 B7
Across that barren plain
E A
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon
E B7 E
He gets lonesome way out there
B7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
E
Lost myself in dreams
B7 E
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land
F#7 B7
Then I awoke with the dawn
E A
There's a train coming back on the one-way track
E B7 E
Going to take me away from here
A E
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
B7 A# B7 E
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
