Lonesome Pine Special Lyrics
Lonesome Pine Special - The Carter Family
I was walking out this morning
With rambling on my mind
I am going to catch the special
That train called Lonesome Pine
You can hear the whistle blowin'
And she's coming down the line
That's the train I catch this morning
To ease my troubling mind
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
Oh I'm weeping like a willow
And I'm mourning like a dove
There's a girl way out in Texas
That I know I really love
Oh I'm going back to Texas
Where the lonesome coyotes whine
Where the longhorn cattle are roaming
'Round that cabin home of mine
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
Oh give me back my rifle
Oh give me back my gun
Give me back my home in Texas
And my rambling days are done
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Well ah-le-ho ah-le-ho-lay
Take me back to Texas
Back to my old home
