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