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 blowin' And she's coming down the line That's the train I catch this morning To ease my troubling mind 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 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 'Round that cabin home of mine 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 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 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
