I Was Young When I Left Home Lyrics - Bob Dylan

I was young when I left home 

An' I been out ramblin' 'round 

An' I never wrote a letter to my home 

To my home, Lord, to my home 

An' 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 an' gone 

Every sisters all gone wrong 

An' your daddy needs you home right away 

I have a shirt on my back 

Not a penny on my name 

But I can't go home this way 

This way, Lord, Lord, Lord 

An' I can't go home this way

If you miss train, I'm on 

Count the days, I'm gone 

You'll hear that whistle blow hundred miles 

Hundred miles, honey baby, Lord, Lord, Lord 

An' you'll hear that whistle blow hundred mile 

I've playin' on a track, ma would come an' woop me back 

On 'em trusses down by Ol' Jim McKay's 

When I pay the debt I owe to the commissary store 

I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home 

Go home, Lord, Lord, Lord 

I will pawn my watch an' chain an' go home 

Used to tell my ma sometimes 

When I see them ridin' blind 

Gonna make me home out in the wind 

In the wind, Lord, in the wind 

Make me home out in the wind

I don't like it in the wind 

I wanna back home again 

But I can't go home this way 

This way, Lord, Lord, Lord 

An' I can't go home this way 

I was young when I left home 

An' I been out ramblin' 'round 

An' I never wrote a letter to my home 

To my home, Lord, Lord, Lord 

An' I never wrote a letter to my home
