E
[Chorus]
E
Sister, soak the beans
A
I'll be comin' home to chop the onion
B7
Mama, light the stove
E
It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done
E
I'll be comin' home
A
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
B7
Can't you hear me moan?
E
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
[Verse 1]
E
Workin' on the run
A
Burnin' cactus down on the Rio Grande
B7
No shade from the sun
E
Just wishin' I'd get done with shovelin' sand
[Chorus]
E
Sister, soak the beans
A
I'll be comin' home to chop the onion
B7
Mama, light the stove
E
It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done
E
I'll be comin' home
A
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
B7
Can't you hear me moan?
E
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
[Interlude]
E
[Verse 2]
E
I been gone so long
A
Callin' cattle on the Goodnight Lovin' Line
B7
Can't you hear my song?
E
The canteen's dry as the dust that's in my eyes
[Chorus]
E
Sister, soak the beans
A
I'll be comin' home to chop the onion
B7
Mama, light the stove
E
It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done
E
I'll be comin' home
A
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
B7
Can't you hear me moan?
E
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
[Verse 3]
E
Last time I got stuck
A
In a Yankee city up above the Dixon Line
B7
I run plum out of luck
E
Not an inch of enchilada could I find
[Outro]
E
I'll be comin' home
A
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
B7
No peace can I find
E
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
E A B7 E
