Back home the family's eatin' dinner |
|
There's a fire in the fireside warm and bright |
|
But I won't be there today 'cause I've got a debt to pay |
|
And they don't let black sheep stray from the road. |
|
No they don't let black sheep stray from the road. |
|
My throat is out crying for water |
|
Lord, that wind is blowing cold |
|
That guard is watching me like a hawk up in the tree |
|
And I'm longing to be free from the road |
|
Yes, I'm longing to be free from the road. |
|
Every bone inside my body's aching |
|
And that guard don't care if I live or die |
|
He told me yesterday son don't try to get away |
|
For I'll lay you down to stay by the road |
|
Yes, I'll lay you down to stay by the road... |
