Southern Train

D G There's a southern train leaVin' here this mornin' Em A It's heading south at ten forty-five G D I want to be on board that engine when it leaves here Em D And ride her back home to Caroline D G I want to feel that southern sunshine on my shoulders Em A And visit with those friends I used to know G D I want to sit down on the front porch with my mother Em D And sing those gospel songs that she loves so G D I want to walk those mountain trails and smell that laurel Bm A Take off my shoes and wade those mountain streams G D And listen to the pine trees as they whisper Em D Welcome home my son, its not a dream D G Em A G D EM D D? D G Well I missed that southern train again this mornin' Em A This old cell'll be my home a long long time G D But if I die now up here in this prison Em D Let me ride her back home one more time G D I want to walk those mountain trails and smell that laurel Bm A Take off my shoes and wade those mountain streams G D And listen to the pine trees as they whisper Em D Welcome home my son, its not a dream G D And listen to the pine trees as they whisper Em D Welcome home my son, its not a dream Em D Welcome home my son, its not a dream
