Words and Music by A.P. Carter, Sara Carter And Maybelle Carter Well I went walking out this morning With rambling on my mind I am going to catch the special That train called Lonesome Pine Can't you hear the whistle blowin' As she's coming down the line It's a train I'll 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 Won't 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
