Various Artists - I Was Young When I Left Home lyrics

I was young when I left home And I been a-rambling 'round And I never wrote a letter to my home To my home, lord to my home And I never wrote a letter to my home It was just the other day I was bringing home my pay When I met an old friend I used to know Said your mother's dead and gone Baby sister's all gone wrong And your daddy needs you home right away Not a shirt on my back Not a penny on my name But I can't go home thisaway Thisaway, lord lord lord And I can't go home thisaway If you miss the train I'm on Count the days I'm gone You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles Hundred miles honey baby, lord lord lord And you'll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles I'm playing on a track Ma would come and whoop me back On them trussels down by old Jim McKay's When I pay the debt I owe to the commissary store I will pawn my watch and chain and go home Go home, lord lord lord I will pawn my watch and chain and go home Used to tell ma sometimes When I see them riding blind Gonna make me a home out in the wind In the wind, lord in the wind Make me a home out in the wind I don't like it in the wind I'm a-go back home again But I can't go home thisaway Thisaway, lord lord lord And I can't go home thisaway I was young when I left home And I been all rambling 'round And I never wrote a letter to my home To my home, lord lord lord And I never wrote a letter to my home
