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