Home I'll Never Be lyrics

Well I left New York

in nineteen forty-nine

to go across the country

without a dad blamed dime

Montana in the cold cold fall

I found my father in a gambling hall

father father

where have you been

I've been out in the world

since I was only ten

father father

where have you been

I've been out in the world

since I was only ten

don't worry about me

about to die of pleurisy

cross the Mississippi

cross the Tennessee

cross the Niagara

home I'll never be

home in old Medora

home in ol' Truckee

Apalachicola

home I'll never be

for better or for worse

or thick and thin

I've been married to the little woman

god he loves me

like I love him

I want you to do

just the same for him

well the worms eat away

but don't worry

watch the wind

so I left Montana

on an old freight train

the night my father died

in the cold cold rain

rode to Opelousas

rode to Wounded Knee

rode to Ogallala

home I'll never be

rode to Oklahoma

rode to El Cajon

rode to old Tehatchapi

rode to San Antone

hey hey

rode to Opelousas

rode to Wounded Knee

rode to Ogallala

home I'll never be

rode to Oklahoma

rode to El Cajon

rode to old Tehatchapi

rode to San Antone

home I'll never be
