big thief - i was young when i left home lyrics

i was young when i left home lyrics
[chorus]
i was young when i left home
and i’ve been out rambling ’round
and i never wrote a letter to my home
to my home, lord, to my home
and i never wrote a letter to my home

[verse 1]
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
little 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
well i can’t go home this way
this way, lord, lord, lord, lord
well i can’t go home thisaway

[verse 2]
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
you will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
[verse 3]
i’m playing on a track
ma would come and whoop me back
on the trestles down by old jim mckay’s
when i pay the debt i owe
to the commissary store
i will p+wn my watch and chain and go home
used to tell ma sometimes
when i see them riding blinds
gonna make me a home out in the wind
in the wind, lord, lord in the wind
gonna make me a home out in the wind
i don’t, well i don’t like it in the wind
i want to come back home again
but i can’t go home thisaway
thisaway, lord, lord, lord, lord
no i can’t go home thisaway

[chorus]
i was young when i left home
and i’ve been out rambling ’round
and i never wrote a letter to my home
