A mother wrote a warning how much longer must I wait
                   D7               G7
Before you send my boy back home to me
       C                            F
For my eyes are growing dim and I'm longing for my Jim

Please hurry up and let my boy go free

The warden read the letter a tear fell from his eye
                D7             G7
Sitting down he wrote her this reply
          C                         F
There's a little box of pine on the 7:29
G7                                C
Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold

                                          F
There's a valley filled with tears as the train of sorrow nears
    G7                                 C
The night is dark the world is growing cold

    hide ad ⨯

There he's taking his last ride down the trail no more he'll roam
       D7                       G7
On his face there is a smile he knows he's going home
          C                         F
There's a little box of pine on the 7:29
G7                                C

The church was filled with people as the organ softly played
                       D7           G7
And on their knees the congregation prayed
        C                      F
As they softly sang a hymn for poor widow's Jim
     G7                           C
He's happy for he's going home to stay

           G7                            C
There he's taking his last ride down the trail no more he'll roam
       D7                       G7
On his face there is a smile he knows he's going home
          C                         F
There's a little box of pine on the 7:29
G7                                C
Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold
