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