South Bound Freight (Larry W. Jones 08/14/2007) (song#4833)

Well, I’ve been so lonesome for San Antone
And that Lone Star State seems so far away
But now I hear that south bound freight train song
I’ll be ridin’ down to Texas today

I’ve spent by best years gaily ram’blin
And now it’s time to head on back
On top of an old box car am’blin’
Down that old south bound railroad track

South bound freight, south bound freight
Take me down to San Antone and don’t be late
South bound freight, south bound freight
Take be south down to that Lone Star Texas State

– instrumental –

I’ve been like an old stray cat far away from home
It’s been my way of life to roam
But I was born in Texas outside San Antone
South bound freight, let me hear you moan

I see that south bound freight a-rollin’
Blowin’ black smoke from her stack
Down to Texas where I’m a-goiin’
San Antone is somewhere down her track

South bound freight, south bound freight
Take me down to San Antone and don’t be late
South bound freight, south bound freight
Take be south down to that Lone Star Texas State
