Papas Wagon

D G I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon D A Happy as a king upon a throne D G Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet D A D Riding in a brand new wagon going home D A D Today is the first time I've been home in many a years G D A Remembering how things used to be I can't hold back the tears D G The house is barely standing and the barn has rotted down A D And someone planted trees all over Papa's farming ground D A D The weeds had almost hidden papa's wagon standing there G D A I thought how long it's been since gentle hands touched it with care D G D I remember when he bought it even Mama went along A D He walked to led the mules to town and proudly brought it home D G I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon D A Happy as a king upon a throne D G Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet D A D Riding in a brand new wagon going home D A D I remember Tammy Jones that lived the next house down G D A She was in the wagon every time we went to town D G D And when I told her of my plans she cried and said you're wrong A D But I just wouldn't listen so I ran away from home D A D Too young to get a job I robbed a man in Frisco yard G D A The wagon I had rode next was driven by a guard D G D Mom and Pop they kept my secret till their dying day A D That's why no one could find me when they both had passed a way D G I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon D A Happy as a king upon a throne D G Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet D A D Riding in a brand new wagon going home D A D Riding in a brand new wagon going home
