Irving Burgess
It`s only been a year or so but it seems so long ago, I packed up my bags and left my home.
Been from Fresno to Maine, even worked a boat in Spain. I ain`t ever had a bed to call my own.
Chorus:
`Round this time of day I gets to feelin` low and I wonder who`s my baby`s latest beau.
I have gambled and lost. I`ve been cussed by my boss. Some city gal just took me for a ride.
Hope some day I`ll get back to my little old country shack. Settle down with my baby at my side.
(Chorus)
Someday soon, you hear, gonna save up my fare or maybe I`ll just have to ride the rail.
If that mornin` train is right, I`ll be home before that night and I hope no one will have to go my bail.
(Chorus)
