Sister Soak The Beans

[Chorus]
E
Sister, soak the beans
I'll be comin' home to chop the 
A
onion
B7
Mama, light the stove
It'll take a while for the cornbread
        E
 to get done

E
I'll be comin' home
I've had enough, I'm done with 
       A
self-denial
B7
Can't you hear me moan?
Set the table, I'll be there in a 
E
while


[Verse 1]
E
Workin' on the run
Burnin' cactus down on the Rio 
A
Grande
B7
No shade from the sun
Just wishin' I'd get done with 
          E
shovelin' sand

[Verse 2]
E
I been gone so long
Callin' cattle on the Goodnight 
       A
Lovin' Line
B7
Can't you hear my song?
The canteen's dry as the dust that's
       E
 in my eyes

[Verse 3]
E
Last time I got stuck
In a Yankee city up above the Dixon 
A
Line
      B7
I run plum out of luck
Not an inch of enchilada could I 
E
find

No peace can I find
Set the table, I'll be there in a
