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