A Long Way From Montana by Red Steagall




        A Long Way From Montana






C      Em     F
A long way it is from Montana
 
C                        D7         G7
To west Texas whether by hoof or by rail
 
C      Em     F
A long way it is from Alzada
 
C                           G7         C
To innocence lost somewhere out on the trail



   Em       F
My heart is lonesome and longing 

C                           D7            G7
My comrades are gone on the first morning train

C      Em            F
And my heart hears a boyhood hymn calling
 
C                                   G7         C
From a church down the valley comes this old refrain

 
 
C                   F        C
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
 
Am          D7          G7
Calling for you and for me 

C                       F           C
See on the portals He's waiting and watching

         F   C   G7      C
Watching for you and for me

 

    Em   F
Too many autumns I've watched 'em
 
C                               D7             G7
Board trains with their plunder all headed for home

C       Em   F
And too many autumns I've stayed here
 
C                              G7           C
To snap out the new ones 'fore winter comes on

 

      Em     F
And I wonder who's waiting for them
 
C                      D7              G7
A sweetheart a lover a young wife with babe
 
C     Em   F
But I know who's waiting for me
 
C                         G7                 C
A mother and father who's hair has turned to gray

 

     G7        C  Am
Come home come home

D7                    G7
Wanderin' cowboy come home

C                  F           C
Earnestly tenderly I hear them calling
 
Am     F    C    G7      C
My son it's time to come home

 

     Em       F
I've lingered long in this country
 
C                          D7              G7
From high thunder basin to where rim lands start

C        Em       F
And I've lingered too long a sinner 

C                        G7            C
It's time that I pack up and follow my heart

 

       Em  F
A long way it is from Alzada
 
C                            D7         G7
To a little sod house on the west Texas plains
 
C      Em  F
A long way it is from Montana 

C                         G7              C
But I'm going home on the next southbound train

 

       Em  F          C
A long way it is from Montana
