Down in my hometown there is a fortune They used call it gold but now it's love I'm told With a worried mind I put my time in But hunger comes and goes even while the wild wind blows Now I could sing you a song of inspiration Or of new world where everyone is free But know you there ain't no new way to salvation The time is gettin' short my friends for you and me Down in my hometown there is a fortune They used call it gold but now it's love I'm told Now when I left there, my eyes cast down in sorrow So very soon I found the darkness on the ground And now I see the clouds gatherin' for tomorrow But I must journey on the one road I have found Down in my hometown there is a fortune They used call it gold but now it's love I'm told With a worried mind I put my time in But hunger comes and goes even while the wild wind blows
