I Was Young When I Left Home |
| I was young when i left home |
| An' I been out a-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 |
| An' your sisters all gone wrong |
| An' your daddy needs you home right away.'' |
| Not a shirt on my back |
| Not a penny on my name |
| But I can’t go home this a-way |
| This a-way, lord, this a-way |
| An' I can’t go home this a-way. |
| If you miss the train I’m on Count the days I’m gone |
| You will hear that whistle blow hundred miles |
| Hundred miles, honey baby, lord, lord, lord |
| An' you’ll hear that whistle blow hundred miles. |
| An' I’m playin' on a track, ma’d come an' woop me back |
| On them trusses down by Ol' Jim McKay’s |
| When I pay the debt i own 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 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 go back home again |
| But i can’t go home this a-way |
| This a-way, lord, lord, lord |
| An' i can go home this a-way. |
| I was young when i left home |
| An' I been out a-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. |
