Long Journey Home

Traditional – Verse and Chorus share the same melody

Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
Looks like rain, boys, looks like rain
Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
I'm on my long journey home

(Chorus): Lost all my money but a two dollar bill boys,
Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill.
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill boys,
And I'm on my long journey home.

There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train,
Surely is a train boys, surely is a train.
There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train,
And I'm on my long journey home.
(Chorus)

It's dark and a raining and I want to go home,
Want to go home, boys, want to go home.
Its dark and a raining and I want to go home,
And I'm on my long journey home.
(Chorus)

Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue,
Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue.
Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue,
And I'm on my long journey home.
(Chorus)
