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