Done laid around and stayed around this old town to long
Sommers almost gone yeh winters commin on
Done laid around and stayed around this old town to long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
Theres a lonesome freight at sixo eight commin through the town
Commin through the town yeh Ill be homeward bound
A lonesome freight at sixo eight a commin through the town
But I feel like I gotta travel on
That chilly wind will soon begin but Ill be on my way
Ill be on my way yeh Ill be home to stay
That chilly wind will soon begin and Ill be on my way
But I feel like I gotta travel on
(not sure on next verse)
High police and sherriff are commin after me
Yeh commin after me yeh commin after me
The high police and sherriff are comin after me
And I feel like I gotta travel on
Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad
Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad
Shes the best girl a man could ever have
Papa writes to johnny but johnny cant come home
Johnny cant come home no johnny cant come home
Papa writes to johnny but johnny cant come home
Cause hes been on the chain gaing to long
