Poor boy a long way from home
Poor boy I'm a long way from home
Poor boy I'm a long way from home
I don't have no happy home to go home to

When I left my home my baby's in my arms
When I left my home my baby's in my arms
When I left my home my baby's in my arms
She wanna know, 'Daddy, when you comin' back home?'

(Guitar)

They got me down here on the farm
Got me down here on old farm
I don't have no one to come and post my bail
Baby, I wanna come back home to you

(Guitar)

Sorry, baby I can't call you over the phone
Sorry, I can't call you over the phone
'Cause they got me down here on this little farm
But I can't call you baby over the phone.

(Guitar to end)
