I was young when I left home
Eb

F7 F
An' I never wrote a letter to my home
Bb Eb
To my home, Lord, to my home
Bb
An' I never wrote a letter to my home
Bb
It was just the other day
Eb
I was bringin' home my pay
F
When I met an' old friend I used to know
Bb
Said, your mother is dead an' gone
Eb
Every sisters all gone wrong
Bb
An' your daddy needs you home right away
Bb
I have a shirt on my back
Eb
Not a penny on my name
F7 F
But I can't go home this way
Bb Eb
This way, Lord, Lord, Lord
Bb
An' I can't go home this way

Bb Eb F Bb F F7 Bb
Bb Eb
I've playin' on a track, ma would come an' woop me back
F
On 'em trusses down by Ol' Jim McKay's
Bb Eb
When I pay the debt I owe to the commissary store
Bb
I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home
Go home, Lord, Lord, Lord
I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home
Bb
Used to tell my ma sometimes
Eb
When I see them ridin' blind
F
Gonna make me home out in the wind
Bb Eb
In the wind, Lord, in the wind
Bb
Make me home out in the wind
Bb
I don't like it in the wind
Eb
I wanna back home again
F
But I can't go home this way
Bb Eb
This way, Lord, Lord, Lord
Bb
An' I can't go home this way
