Subject: Lyrics: Lonesome Pines / Carter Family From: ms895@poppa.fab.albany.edu Date: 18 Jul 97 - 08:41 AM need lyrics or source recording of Carter Family (?) singing a song that has the line "I'm goin' back to Texas where the lonesome coyotes howl".

Subject: RE: Lyrics: Lonesome Pines / Carter Family From: hartley Date: 18 Jul 97 - 08:02 PM I don't have the lyrics now, but the song is Lonesome Pine Special. Sara said she wrote it. Lonesome Pine is a train. It was recorded in 1930 for Victor. It is part of the re-releases by Rounder "Worried Man Blues" C1067. If you don't have access, I will listen and post the words. Just give me the word via this thread. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lonesome Pine Special (Carter Family) From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 04 Oct 12 - 06:06 AM I've got it slightly different: LONESOME PINE SPECIAL I was walking out this morning with rambling on my mind; I'm 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. Hodel-ay-ho, ho-lay-ho-lee, Hodel-ay-ho, ho-lay-ho-lee, 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 back in Texas that I know I really love, Oh I'm going back to Texas where the lonesome coyotes whine With the longhorn cattles roaming 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. As sung by the Carter Family on RCA Victor EP RCX-7110, "The Original and Great Carter Family" volume 5. Recorded 25 November 1930. |

It has a nice tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiTp_9mlJ4I She doesn't sing "the longhorn cattle's roaming," she sings it correctly, "the longhorn cattle are roaming," with a nifty little curl in the melody which is worth preserving. |
