[Intro]
C C C
C G C C7 F
C G C F
[Verse 1]
C G
Too old to wrangle or ride on the swing
C
You beat the triangle and you curse everything
C7 F
If dirt was a kingdom, they you'd be the king
[Chorus]
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
G G7
Our Old Woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like the low bawling calf
G G7
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 2]
C G
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments, too
C
You can do anything that a doctor can do
C7 F
Except find a cure for your own god damned stew
[Chorus]
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
G G7
Our Old Woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like the low bawling calf
G G7
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 3]
C G
The campfire's out and the coffee's all gone
C
The boys are all up and they're raising the dawn
C7 F
You're still sitting there, all lost in a song
[Chorus]
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
G G7
Our Old Woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like the low bawling calf
G G7
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 4]
C G
Yeah I know that some day I'll be just the same
C
Wearing an apron instead of a name
C7 F
There's nothing can change it, there's no one to blame
C G
For the desert's a book wrote in lizards and sage
C
Easy to look like an old torn out page
C7 F
Faded and cracked with the colors of age
[Chorus]
C G C F
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
G G7
Our Old Woman's lonesome tonight
C G C F
Your French harp blows like the low bawling calf
G G7
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
C
Get in there and blow out the light
