      [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]
A Bm E A D A E A D Bm A Bm A D A D E D A

[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,
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.
