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