[Ab]
[Db] It must be good for somebody this is our song.
[Ab]
I know it's good for somebody
If it ain't for me
It's good for somebody.
I just talked about it.
I
[Db] [Bb] [Ab]
Was young when I left home
Thought I've been out of rambling around
[Db] And I [Bb] never wrote a letter [Eb] to my [Bb] home
[Ab] to my home
Lord to my [Db] home
And I [Ab] never wrote a letter to my home
It was just the other day.
I was bringing on my [Db] pay
[Ab] When I [Bb] met an old friend [Eb] I used to know
[Ab] Said your mother's dead and gone
They were sisters all gone wrong
[Db] And [Ab] your daddy [Eb] needs you home [Ab] right away
I had a shirt on my back
And a penny on my [Db] name
But I can't [Eb] go home
It's a way
It's [Ab] a race
La la la
[Db] And I [Eb] can't go home
[Ab] If
[Db] [Ab]
you miss the train I'm on
Count the days I'm gone
[Db] You will hear that [Eb] whistle blow a hundred miles
[Ab] hundred miles honey, baby
Lord Lord [Db] Lord
And you hear that [Eb] whistle blow a hundred [Ab] miles
I'm playing on a track
Mama come and whip me [Db] back
[Eb] on them trussles down by old Jim McKay's
[Ab] When I pay the dead I owe
To the commissary [Db] store
[Eb] I will pull my watching chain and [Ab] go home Go home
Lord Lord [Db] Lord [Ab]
[Eb] and we pull the watching chain and [Ab] go home
[Db] Used [Ab]
to tell them all sometimes
When I see [Db] them riding blinds
Gonna make me a home out in the [Eb] wind
[Ab] In the wind
Lord in the [Db] wind
Make me a home [Ab] out in the wind.
I don't like it in the wind
I'll go back home again
[Db] But [Eb] I can't go home
[Ab] It's a way
It's a way
Lord Lord Lord
[Db] And [Eb] I can't go [Ab] home
It's a way
[Db]
[Ab]
I was young when I left home
I'd have been all [Db] rambling around
And I never wrote a letter [Eb] to my [Ab] home
to my home
Lord [Db] Lord Lord
And I never [Ab] wrote a letter to my home
