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
