[Ab]
[Db] [Eb] [Ab]
I was young when I left home, thought I'd been out ramblin' round
[Db] And I [Bb] never wrote a [Eb] letter to my home, [Bb]
to [Ab] my home, Lord, to my home
[Db] [Eb] And I never wrote [Ab] a letter to my home
It was just the other day, I was drinkin' on my [Db] pay
[Ab] When I [Bb] met an old friend I [Eb] used to know, [Ab] said your mother's dead and gone
Baby sister's all gone wrong, [Db]
[Eb] and your daddy needs you home [Ab] right away
I had a shirt on my back, and a penny on my name
[Db] But I [Eb] can't go home this way, this [Ab] way, Lord, Lord, [Db] Lord
[Eb] And I can't go home [Ab] this way
[Db] [Ab]
If you miss the train I'm on, count the days I'm gone
[Db]
You will hear that [Eb] whistle blow a hundred miles, [Ab] a hundred miles
Honey baby, Lord, Lord, [Db] Lord
And [Eb] you will hear that whistle blow a [Ab] hundred miles
I'm playin' on a track, mama come and whip me [Db] back
[Eb] On them trestles down by old Jim McKay's
[Ab] When I pay the debt I owe to the commissary [Db] store
[Eb] I whip on my watchin' chain and [Ab] go home
Go home, Lord, Lord, Lord
[Db] [Ab] I whip [Eb] on my watchin' chain and go [Ab] home
[Db]
[Ab]
I used to tell them all sometimes, when I see them ridin' [Db] blinds
Gonna make me a home out in the [Eb] wind, [Ab] in the wind
Lord in the [Db] wind, make me a home [Ab] out in the wind
I don't like it in the wind, I wanna go back home again
[Db] But I can't [Eb] go home this [Ab] way, this way, Lord, Lord, Lord
[Db] [Eb] And I can't go [Ab] home this way
I
[Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
was young when I left home, and I been all [Db] ramblin' round
