[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
Wherе the longhorn cattle are roaming
Around that cabin homе 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
