I left New York in 1949 |
|
To go across the country without a bad blame dime |
|
Montana in the cold cold fall |
|
Found my father in the gambling hall |
|
|
|
Father, Father where you been? |
|
I've been out in the world and I'm only ten |
|
Father, Father where you been? |
|
I've been out in the world and I'm only ten |
|
|
|
Don't worry about me if I should die of pleurisy |
|
|
|
Across to Mississippi, across to Tennessee |
|
Across the Niagara, home I'll never be |
|
Home in ol' Medora, home in Ol' Truckee |
|
Apalachicola, home I'll never be |
|
|
|
Better or for worse, thick and thin |
|
Like being married to the Little poor man |
|
God he loves me (God he loves me) |
|
Just like I love him (just like I love him) |
|
I want you to do (I want you to do) |
|
Just the same for him (just the same for him, yeah) |
|
|
|
Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind |
|
So I left Monatana on an old freight train (on an old freight train) |
|
The night my father died in the cold cold rain (in the cold cold rain) |
|
|
|
Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee |
|
Road to Ogallala home I'll never be |
|
Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon |
|
Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone |
|
|
|
Hey, hey |
|
|
|
Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee |
|
Road to Ogallala, home I'll never be |
|
Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon |
|
Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone |
|
|
|
Home I'll never be, home I'll never be |
|
Home I'll never be, home I'll never be |
|
Home I'll never be, home I'll never be |
