[Verse 1]
I'm goin' 'round this world
I'm goin' 'round it pretty girl
Imma leaving and I can't say
When I'll be back around this way
This way-ay-ay-ay-ay
When I'll be back around this way
This way-ay-ay
And it's awful hard to say
When I'll be back around this way
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' 'cross this land
I'll be that banjo pickin' man
It's been a long long, long long time
That I had you on my mind
On my mind
That I had you on my mind
On my mind
And true love's hard to find
Well I done had you on my mind
[Verse 3]
I've been running
Through the field
When I was alive it felt so real
They got me down here
In a valley low
Cause it's the only one I know
That I know
And it's the only one I know
That I know
It's a long and lonesome road
But it's the only one I know
