I'm walking down the track Got the sun behind my back Why do the hours pass so slo-o-ow? What if I had my way See my girl on Saturday But I'm too many miles from my home How I hate to spend these summer days alone
Well I Harriet(?) to see my little darling Though never never again When they found me riding on the freight car Well they put me off of that train
At the first of every day I start out another way With not a soul to care how far I roam Well it's always the same No money knows my name And I haven't got a place to call my own How I hate to spend these summer days alone
Well I wanna go back to my loved one I wanna go home to stay How I miss her in the morning and the evening Oh I miss her on the late of the long day (?)
So I'm walking down the track Got the sun behind my back Why do the hours pass so slo-o-ow? What if I had my way See my girl on Saturday But I'm too many miles from my home How I hate to spend these summer days alone Tell me why did I decide to leave my home
