Goodnight Loving Trail Lyrics

INTRO: C G C G C
You're too old to wrangle or ride on the swing
You beat the triangle and you curse everything
If dirt were a kingdom, then you'd be the king
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments too
You can do anything that a doctor can do
Except find a cure for your own goddamn stew
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C F C G C
Well, the campfire's gone out and the coffee's all gone
The boys are all up and they're raising the dawn
And you're sitting there, lost in a song
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
INSTRUMENTAL: Am C Am C Am C F
BRIDGE:
It's a wonder the wind
It's a wonder the wind
It's a wonder the wind
Oh, it's someday, I'll be just the same
Wearing an apron instead of a name
There's no one can change it, there's no one to blame
For the dessert's a book writ in lizards and sage
Easy to look like an old torn out page
Faded and cracked with the colours of age
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail
CHORUS:
Your old woman's lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a low-bawling calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
N.C. (G)
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
