My daddy left home at 14 years Gone to find his way He left again when I was 25 This time gone to stay I don't feel welcome around here, boys I don't feel at home This old world has brought me low And made me to live all alone I walked for miles and years ‘Til I was lost and alone Like a mastodon buried in the snow And never found it's way home I don't feel welcome around here, boys I don't feel at home This old world has brought me low And made me to live all alone Now I'm older and look like all the rest
Easy to be ignored I'll wander free on this side of the fence That separates the rich and poor I don't feel welcome around here, boys I don't feel at home This old world has brought me low And made me to live all alone When I die don't you bury me at all No coffin and no stone Just leave me like a mastodon buried in the snow Maybe someday I will be found I don't feel welcome around here, boys I don't feel at home This old world has brought me low And made me to live all alone
