Home I'll Never Be

I left New York in 1949 To go across the country without a bad blame dime Montana in the cold cold fall Found my father in the gambling hall Father, Father where you been? I've been out in the world and I'm only ten Father, Father where you been? I've been out in the world and I'm only ten Don't worry about me if I should die of pleurisy Across to Mississippi, across to Tennessee Across the Niagara, home I'll never be Home in ol' Medora, home in ol' Truckee Apalachicola, home I'll never be Better or for worse, thick and thin Like being married to the Little poor man God he loves me (God he loves me) Just like I love him (just like I love him) I want you to do (I want you to do) Just the same for him (just the same for him, yeah) Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind So I left Monatana on an old freight train (on an old freight train) The night my father died in the cold cold rain (in the cold cold rain) Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee Road to Ogallala home I'll never be Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone Hey, hey Road to Opelousas, road to Wounded Knee Road to Ogallala, home I'll never be Road to Oklahoma, road to El Cahon Road to Tahachapi, road to San Antone Home I'll never be, home I'll never be --- Home I'll Never Be - The Low Anthem
