Lonesome Pine Special

I was walking out this morning,

With rambling on my mind;

Gonna catch that special train,

Called the Lonesome Pine.

(Chorus the same as the verse)

You could hear the whistle blowing,

As she's coming down the line;

That's the train I'll catch this morning,

To ease my troubled mind.

Odel-aideeo-oleeoh-laydee

Odel-aideeo-oleeoh-lay

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

Oh, I'm weeping like a willow,

And morning like a dove;

There's a girl way out in Texas,

I know I really love.

Oh, give me back my rifle,

Oh, give me back my gun;

Give me back my girl in Texas,

And my rambling days are done.

Oh, I'm going back to Texas,

Where the lonesome coyotes whine;

Where the longhorn cattle's lowing,

'Round that cabin home of mine.
