High up in the mountains cutting the timbers down
|
All I do from dusk to dawn is follow that mule around
|
I had no intentions of staying away this long
|
But I guess I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
Picked peaches down in Georgia, cotton in Tennessee
|
Trying to make a livin's going to be the death of me
|
So if you want to find me just look where the wind has blown
|
Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
Go find another fella if you want to
|
I won't say you ever done me wrong
|
This of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
|
Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
Up here in these tall pines leanin' into the wind
|
Doing my best to catch my breath 'till I hit the road again
|
The only thing I know how to do is keep on rambling on
|
I guess I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
Go find another fella if you want to
|
I won't say you ever done me wrong
|
This of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
|
Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
There's a great big shade tree shadowing the stones
|
Where I want you to lay me down to rest my weary bones
|
There ain't really nowhere else in this earth I belong
|
Guess I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
Go find another fella if you want to
|
I won't say you ever done me wrong
|
This of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
|
Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
|
|
[Instrumental to end]
