Ridin On The Cotton Belt by Johnny Cash Ridin On The Cotton Belt Tuning:E A D G B E Key:Bb Capo:3rd fret (I recently went to a big homecomin' celebration In Cleveland County Arkansas where I was born Whole family went down and there was a great day for us I felt like this day was special especially for my mother and my daddy Though it was daddy's and mama's homecomin' And I was so proud of 'em ridin' that carriage Down the Main Street of Rison Arkansas Sometimes the songs I write sound like talkin' about myself But actually in some of these songs, Especially this one, I'm writin' about my daddy) [Verse 1] G Ridin' on the Cotton Belt Cleveland County's where I long to be C I got onto Brinkley and every mile I make is a memory G This boxcar's cold and windy and the dust goes around in circles in the air C D G But my hard times are behind me and I'm returnin' home so I don't care [Chorus] C And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line G In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise C G D G Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys [Verse 2] G Ridin' on the Cotton Belt across that little river called Saline C That's where I went fishin' and I hunted in her bottoms as a teen G Now just ahead's a farmhouse and in the kitchen window there's a light C D G And I've just got fourteen dollars but I'm taking it myself home tonight [Chorus] C And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line G In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise C G D G Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys [Verse 3] G Jumpin' off the Cotton Belt ain't easy when she's going forty per C But I see my wife standin' there hoping that I'm coming home to her G I got a few new cuts and bruises but this old working hobo's made a home C Dm G So long to your Cotton Belt thank you for the ride keep rolling on [Chorus] C And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line G In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise C G D G Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys ---------
