I Was Young When I Left Home

I was young when I left home And I been out ramblin' 'round And I never wrote a letter to my home To my home, Lord, to my home No, I never wrote a letter to my home It was just the other day, I was bringin' home my pay When I met an old friend I used to know Said, "Your mother is dead and gone Sisters all gone wrong And your daddy needs you home right away" Not a shirt on my back Not a penny on my name And I can't go home this way This way, Lord, Lord, Lord And I can't go home this way
