Lyrics and Chords
[1] I left my old home to ramble this country My mother and [4] dad said son don't go [1] wrong Remember that [4] God will always watch [1] o'er you And we will be [5] waitin' for you here at [1] home
Son don't go [4] astray was what they both told [1] me Remember that [5] love for God can be [1] found But now they're both [4] gone this letter just told [1] me For years they've been [5] dead the fields have turned [1] brown
For many long years I traveled this country No thoughts of the day when I'd return Now as I go home and find no one waitin' The price I have paid to live and to learn
