 It's been an awful long time since I been home,

 But you won't catch me going back down there alone.

 Things they said when I was young, are quite enough to get me hung.

I don't care! I don't care!

 They came and took my Dad away to serve some time,

 But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.

 Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.

I don't care! I don't care!

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

I don't care! I don't care!

 Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,

 And you can guess that I've been running ever since.

 Ain’t no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself.

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!

 Ain’t no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself.

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!
