I was walking out this morning with rambling on my mind
I am going to catch that special train for lonesome pine
You can hear the whistle blowing as she's coming down the 
line
That's the train I catch this morning just to ease my 
troubling mind

Yodel
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 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 lowing round that cabin 
home of mine

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
