The Carter Family - Lonesome Pine Special lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 blowing And she's coming down the line That's the train I catch this morning To ease my troubling mind [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 Around that cabin home of mine [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
