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
|
|

Home I'll Never Be
