I was young when I left home |
|
An' I been out ramblin' 'round |
|
An' I never wrote a letter to my home |
|
To my home, Lord, to my home |
|
An' I never wrote a letter to my home |
|
It was just the other day |
|
I was bringin' home my pay |
|
When I met an' old friend I used to know |
|
Said, your mother is dead an' gone |
|
Every sisters all gone wrong |
|
An' your daddy needs you home right away |
|
I have a shirt on my back |
|
Not a penny on my name |
|
But I can't go home this way |
|
This way, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
An' I can't go home this way |
|
If you miss train, I'm on |
|
Count the days, I'm gone |
|
You'll hear that whistle blow hundred miles |
|
Hundred miles, honey baby, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
An' you'll hear that whistle blow hundred mile |
|
I've playin' on a track, ma would come an' woop me back |
|
On 'em trusses down by Ol' Jim McKay's |
|
When I pay the debt I owe to the commissary store |
|
I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home |
|
Go home, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home |
|
Used to tell my ma sometimes |
|
When I see them ridin' blind |
|
Gonna make me home out in the wind |
|
In the wind, Lord, in the wind |
|
Make me home out in the wind |
|
I don't like it in the wind |
|
I wanna back home again |
|
But I can't go home this way |
|
This way, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
An' I can't go home this way |
|
I was young when I left home |
|
An' I been out ramblin' 'round |
|
An' I never wrote a letter to my home |
|
To my home, Lord, Lord, Lord |
|
An' I never wrote a letter to my home |
