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