I was young when I left home, And I been out a'ramblin' 'round, And I never wrote a letter to my home. To my home, Lord, to my home, And I never wrote a letter to my home. It was just the other day I was drinkin' on my pay When I met an old friend I used to know. He said your mother's dead and gone, Your baby sister's all gone wrong, And your daddy needs you home right away. Not a shirt on my back, Not a penny on my name. Well I can't go home this a'way. This a'way, Lord Lord Lord, I can't go home this a'way. If you miss the train I'm on, Count the days I'm gone, And you'll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles. A hundred miles, a hundred, baby, Lord Lord Lord, And you'll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles. When I's playin' on the track, Maw would come and whip me back, On them tressles down by ol' Jim McKay's. When I pay the debt I owe To the commissary store, I will pawn my watch and chain and go home. Oh home, Lord Lord Lord, I will pawn my watch and chain and go home. I used to tell my Maw sometimes, When I see them ridin' blinds, Gonna make me a home out in the wind. In the wind, Lord, in the wind, Make me a home out in the wind. I don't like it in the wind, I want to go back home again, But I can't go home this a'way. This a'way, Lord Lord Lord, And I can't go home this a'way. I was young when I left home, And I been all a' ramblin' 'round, And I never wrote a letter to my home. To my home, Lord Lord Lord, And I never wrote a letter to my home.
