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