[Verse 1]
A Bm
Too old to wrangle or ride on the swing,
E Bm A
You beat the triangle and curse everything.
D
If dirt was a kingdom, then you'd be the king.
[Chorus]
A E A D
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail,
A Bm E
Our old woman's lonesome tonight
A E A D
And your french harp blows like a low bawling calf
Bm
It's a wonder the wind, don't tear off your skin.
E D A
Get in there blow out the light
[Verse 2]
Bm
With your snake oil and herbs and your liniments, too,
E Bm A
You can do anything that a doctor can do,
D
Except find a cure for your own God damned stew
[Chorus]
A E A D
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail,
A Bm E
Our old woman's lonesome tonight
A E A D
And your french harp blows like a low bawling calf.
Bm
It's a wonder the wind, don't tear off your skin.
E D A
Get in there blow out the light
[Verse 3]
Bm
Well the cookfire is out and the coffee's all gone,
E A
The boys are all up and they're raising the dawn.
D
You're still sitting there all lost in a song.
[Chorus]
A E A D
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail,
A Bm E
Our old woman's lonesome tonight.
A E A D
And your french harp blows like a low bawling calf.
Bm
And it's a wonder the wind, don't tear off your skin.
E D A
Get in there blow out the light
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
A Bm
Now I know some day I'm gonna be just the same,
E A
Wearing an apron instead of a name.
D
No one can change it, and no one's to blame
[Verse 5]
A Bm E
Cause the desert's a book wrote in lizards and sage,
A
And it's easy to look like an old torn out page,
D
Faded and cracked and the colors of age.
[Chorus]
A E A D
On the Goodnight Trail, on the Loving Trail,

Our old woman's lonesome tonight
