I ain't got no home, I'm just a ramblin' around Work when I can get it, I roam from town to town The police make it hard wherever I may go And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I was farmin' shares and always I was done My debts they was so many they wouldn't go around Drought got my crops and Mr. Banker's at my door And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Six children I have raised, they're scattered and they're gone And my darling wife to heaven she has flown She died of the fever upon the cabin floor And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn I been workin' mister since the day that I was born I worry all the time like I never did before Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Now I just ramble around to see what I can see This wide wicked world is a funny place to be The gamblin' man is rich and the workin' man is poor And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I'm stranded on this road that goes from sea to sea A hundred thousand others are stranded here with me A hundred thousand others and a hundred thousand more I ain't got no home in this world anymore
