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 go 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 long distance phone

But I
can't call you baby over the phone.



(guitar to end)
