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)
