Introduction:
C G7
A lonely spot I know where no man will go
C
Where the shadows have all the room
G7 C
I was riding free on that old S-P
D7 G7
Humming a southern tune
C F
When a man came along made me hush my song
C G7 C
Kicked me off away out there
G7
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right
C
The left and everywhere
G7 C
All I could see was a cactus tree
D7 G7
A prairie dog playing there
C F
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed
C G7 C
That's his home away out there
F C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
G7 F# G7 C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
G7
Then I threw down my load in the desert road
C
Rested my weary legs too
G7 C
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run
D7 G7
Across that barren plain
C F
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon
C G7 C
He gets lonesome way out there
G7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
C
Lost myself in dreams
G7 C
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land
D7 G7
Then I awoke with the dawn
C F
There's a train coming back on the one-way track
C G7 C
Going to take me away from here
F C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee
G7 F# G7 C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
