Throwing rods down from North Cumberland Left my gal that I love way back there But I'll be back some old day yes I will I'll be back some old day How bout another round Went to Texas to build me up a home Told my gal I was going to make it there on my own But I'll be back some old day yes I will I'll be back some old day Let's have another round California next, I went on a freight Figured here boys I would finally have it made
But I'll be back some old day….. Fast fine women living high got my bread Expensive wine, I lost my time, I lost my head But I'll be back some old day…... Got a letter up in Portland, Oregon and it read After 6 years, Jeff we're finally wed But I'll be back some old day…. With my gal gone, I guess I'll ramble on Looking for whatever it is that I want But I'll be back some old day…...
