[A] [D]
I left my old home to ramble this country.
My mother [G] and dad said, son [D] don't go wrong.
Remember that [G] God will always [D] watch over you.
And we will [A] be waiting for you [D] here at home.
Son don't go [G] astray, was what they both told me.
Remember that [A] love for God can [D] be found.
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.
For [A] years they've been dead, the fields have [D] turned brown.
