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