1. I was walking out this morning with rambling on my mind,
E B7 E
I am going to catch this
special, that train called the Lonesome Pine.
E B7 E
You can hear the whistle
blowing, as she's coming down the line,
E B7 E
that's
the train I'll catch this morning to ease my troubled mind.

Take me back to Texas, back to my old home.

2. Oh, I'm weeping like a willow, and I’m mourning like a dove,
E B7 E
there's
a girl way out in Texas, that I know I really love.
E B7 E
Oh, I'm going back to Texas,
where the lonesome coyotes whine,
E
B7 E
where
the longhorn cattle's lowing, 'round that cabin home of mine.
