I Was Young When I Left Home

I Was Young When I Left Home - 群星

I was young when I left home

But I been out a-rambling around

And I never wrote a letter to my home

To my home Lord Lord to my home

And I never wrote a letter to my home

It was just the other day

I was bringing home my pay

When I met an old friend I used to know

Said your mother's dead and gone

Baby sister's all gone wrong

And your daddy needs you home right away

Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny on my name

But I can't go home Thisaway

Thisaway Lord Lord Thisaway

And I can't go home Thisaway

If you miss the train I'm on

Count the days I'm gone

You will hear that whistle

Blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles honey baby

Lord Lord Lord

And you'll hear that whistle

Blow a hundred miles

I'm playing on a track

Ma would come and whoop me back

On them trestles down

By old Jim McKay's

When I pay the debt I owe

To the commissary store

I will pawn my watch

And chain and go home

Go home Lord Lord Lord

I will pawn my watch

And chain and go home

Used to tell Ma sometimes

When I see them riding blinds

Going to make me a home

Out in the wind

In the wind Lord Lord in the wind

And make me a home out in the wind

I don't like it in the wind

Want to go back home again

But I can't go home Thisaway

Thisaway Lord Lord Thisaway

And I can't go home Thisaway

I was young when I left home

But I been out a-rambling around

And I never wrote a letter to my home

To my home Lord Lord Lord

And I never wrote a letter to my home
