[Verse 2]
A [C]mother wrote a warning how
much [F]longer must I [C]wait
Before you send my [D]boy back home [G]to me
For my [C]eyes are growing dim and
I'm [F]longing for my [D]Jim
Please [G]hurry up and let my boy go [C]free
The warden read the letter a
[F]tear fell from his [C]eye
Sitting down he [D]wrote her
this [G]reply
(There's a [C]little box of pine
on [F]the [D]7:29)
[G]Bringing back a lost sheep
to [C]the fold
There's a valley filled with tears as
[F]the train of sorrow [D]nears
[G]The night is dark the world
is growing [C]cold
There he's [G]taking his last ride down
[C]the trail no more he'll [A]roam
On his [D]face there is a smile he knows
[G]he's going home
(There's a [C]little box of pine
on [F]the [D]7:29)
[G]Bringing back a lost sheep to
the [C]fold[F][D][G]
[C]
The church was filled with people
as the [F]or gan softly [C]played
And on their knees
[D]the congregation [G]prayed
As they [C]softly sang a hymn for
[F]poor widow's [D]Jim
He's [G]happy for he's going
home to [C]stay
There he's [G]taking his last ride...
