I'm on my long journey home 
 
 
Well, black smoke's a-rising and it surely is a train 
Surely is a train, boys, surely is a train 
Black smoke's a-rising and it surely is a train 
I'm on my long journey home 
 
Solo 
 
There?s pretty girls a-waiting on down the line 
On down the line, Lord, on down the line 
There?s pretty girls a-waiting on down the line 
And I?m on my long journey home 
 
 
Well I?m homesick and lonesome and 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 
 
Solo 
 
Lost all my money but a two-dollar bill 
Two-dollar bill, boys, two-dollar bill 
Lost all my money but a two-dollar bill 
And I'm on my long journey home
