I ran away for the first _ _ [Bb] time,
_ _ _ _ _ When I was only four years old, I'm a free [Eb]-born man.

_ I had a gal in Cincinnati, _ _
A little woman in Sonneton, _ _
Always loved the gal next door,
But any place is home, I'm a free [Eb]-born man.
_ _ _ Boy, my homies [Bb] on my back.

Every foot of back road, every mile of railroad track. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Well, I got me a Martin guitar, _
_ And a curtain of no-toe sack.
Well, I hocked it about two hundred times,
But I always got it back, I'm a [Eb] free-born man.
_ Boy, my [Bb] homies on my back.
_ _ _ I know [F] every inch of the highway,
Every foot of back road, every mile of [Bb] railroad track. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
