Yarrington Town |
| I packed up my suitcase |
| Pulled down my old bedroll |
| And I started to wander |
| Far from my home |
| And the time it passed quickly |
| And the days seemed to be hours |
| Far from your city |
| And Yarrington Town |
| Well, I wandered through the midnights |
| Of sea-bordered bar lights |
| And I wandered through the forests |
| As deep as the sea |
| But I never got lonesome |
| Until I’d hear a sad song |
| One to remind me of Yarrington Town |
| Well, I followed a miner |
| To his home in the North woods |
| And he promised to love me |
| As long as I’d stay |
| And I even saw lightning |
| Touch a stone in the mine field |
| Could not touch the lightning |
| In Yarrington Town |
| So I packed up my suitcase |
| I pulled out my old bedroll |
| And I started to wander |
| On back to my home |
| And the time it passed slowly |
| And the days seemed to be years |
| Far from your city |
| And Yarrington Town |
| I’m going home to your city |
| And Yarrington Town |
