I've been telling baby
I ain't got no place to go
I've been telling mama
I ain't got no place to go
I've been everywhere lil' darlin'
But I don't wanna go no more

I left home when I was a kid
Everything I did was wrong
I left home when I was a kid
Everything I did was wrong
Now I would like to settle down darlin'
But I ain't got no happy home

I've been telling baby
I got no place to stay
I've been telling mama
I ain't got no place to stay
I've got travelin' on my mind
Yet I be on my way

So sorry, so sorry
But now I got to go
So sorry, so sorry sweetheart
But now I've got to go
But it's time tomorrow baby
I will be a long way down the road
