Well I went walking out this morning

With rambling on my mind

I am going to catch the special

That train called Lonesome Pine

Cant you hear the whistle blowin'

As she's coming down the line

Its a train Ill catch this morning

For to ease my worried mind

Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Take me back to Texas

Back to my old home





Well Ive been weeping like a willow

And I've been mourning like a dove

There's a girl way out in Texas

That I know I really love

Wont you take me back to Texas

Where the lonesome coyotes whine

Where the longhorn cattle are roaming

Around that cabin home of mine

Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Take me back to Texas

Back to my old home





Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Yo-ah-le-ho, ah-le-ho-lay

Take me back to Texas

Back to my old home

Take me back to Texas

Back to my old home
