1. Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears,
I'll tell you the tale of
fifteen years.
A
I'm an old man that's so
forlorn,
I wanna
see the city where I was born.
A
2. I got a feeling that I can't stand,
I wanna
go home to my old land.

Ain't
got no money, I ain't got a cent,
I can't get on that train, so
help me.

and
I'll clean your shoes for fifteen cents.

I'll fix your tie, you'll look a smash,

you don't mind I'll take the cash.

to
pack my bags and drink my wine.

I only know I got to go home,
the
good Lord told me so, so help me.
