Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

...well I left New York

in nineteen forty-nine

to go across the country

without a dad-blamed dime

Mon - tana in the cold cold fall

I found my father in a gam - bling hall

father father

where have you been

I've been out in the world

since I was only ten

don't worry about me

about to die of pleurisy

cross the Mississippi

cross the Tennessee

cross the Niagara

home I'll never be

home in old Medora

home in ol' Truckee

Apalachicola

home I'll never be

for better or for worse

or thick and thin

like bein' married to the little wo - man

god loves me

just like I love him

I want you to do

just the same for him

all the worms eat away

but don't worry

watch the wind

all the worms eat away

but don't worry

watch the wind

all the worms eat away

but don't worry

watch the wind

so I left Montana

on an old freight train

the night my father died

in the cold cold rain

home in old Medora

home in ol' Truckee

Apalachicola

home I'll never be, home i'll never be, home I'll never be
