Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears, |
|
I'll tell you a tale of 15 years, |
|
I'm an ole man and so far gone, |
|
I want to see the city where I was born, |
|
I've got a feelin' that I can't stand, |
|
I want to go back to my home land, |
|
Ain't got the money, |
|
I ain't got the cents, |
|
I can't get on that train, oh help me. |

|
Step up to me, you city kids, |
|
I'll shine your shoes for 15 cents, |
|
I'll fix your tie, you'll learn to stretch, |
|
If you don't mind I'll take cash, |
|
Soon, I'll get the money and I'll feel fine, |
|
I pack my bags and drink my wine, |
|
I only know, I got to go home, |
|
Good Lord told me so, so help me. |
