I was young when I left home
                           C
But I been out a-ramblin’ ‘round
      D7sus4                     D7sus4
And I never wrote a letter to my home
      G
To my home
            C
Lord, to my home
      D7sus4                     G
And I never wrote a letter to my home

       G
It was just the other day
                       C
I was bringing home my pay
       D7sus4                      D7sus4
When I met an old friend I used to know
          G
Said your mother’s dead and gone
                       C
Baby sister’s all gone wrong
         D7sus4                      G
And your daddy needs you home right away

      G
Not a shirt on my back
                  C
Not a penny on my name
       D7sus4               D7sus4
Well I can’t go home this-a-way
       G
This-a-way
            C
Lord, Lord, Lord
      D7sus4               G
And I can’t go home this-a-way

       G
If you miss the train I’m on
                   C
Count the days I’m gone
         D7sus4                           D7sus4
You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
          G
A hundred miles, honey baby
          C
Lord Lord Lord
           D7sus4                           G
And you’ll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles

    G
I’m playing on a track
                           C
Ma would come and whoop me back
         D7sus4                    D7sus4
On them trestles down by old Jim McKay’s
       G
When I pay the debt I owe
                  C
To the commissary store
       D7sus4                         G
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
   G
Go home
          C
Lord Lord Lord
       D7sus4                         G
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home

 G   

        G
Used to tell Ma sometimes
                       C
When I see them riding blinds
      D7sus4                    D7sus4
Gonna make me a home out in the wind
       G
In the wind
            C
Lord in the wind
D7sus4                    G
Make me a home out in the wind

        G
I don’t like it in the wind
                    C
Wanna go back home again
      D7sus4               G
But I can’t go home this-a-way
       G
This-a-way
          C
Lord Lord Lord
      D7sus4               G
And I can’t go home this-a-way

To my home
          C
Lord Lord Lord

And I never wrote a letter to my home
