Southern Train by The Boxcars
Capo 3
D G
There's a southern train leaVin' here this mornin'
Em A
It's heading south at ten forty-five
G D
I want to be on board that engine when it leaves here
Em D
And ride her back home to Caroline
D G
I want to feel that southern sunshine on my shoulders
Em A
And visit with those friends I used to know
G D
I want to sit down on the front porch with my mother
Em D
And sing those gospel songs that she loves so
[Chorus]
G D
I want to walk those mountain trails and smell that laurel
Bm A
Take off my shoes and wade those mountain streams
G D
And listen to the pine trees as they whisper
Em D
Welcome home my son, its not a dream
[Solo]
D G Em A G D EM D D?
D G
Well I missed that southern train again this mornin'
Em A
This old cell'll be my home a long long time
G D
But if I die now up here in this prison
Em D
Let me ride her back home one more time
[Chorus]
G D
I want to walk those mountain trails and smell that laurel
Bm A
Take off my shoes and wade those mountain streams
G D
And listen to the pine trees as they whisper
Em D
Welcome home my son, its not a dream
G D
And listen to the pine trees as they whisper
Em D
Welcome home my son, its not a dream
Em D
Welcome home my son, its not a dream
