high up in the mountains cutting the timbers down
all i do from dusk to dawn is follow that mule around
i had no intentions of staying away this long
but i guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
picked peaches down in georgia
cotton in tennessee
trying to make a livin's going to be the death of me
so if you want to find me just look where the wind has blown
hun
i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
go find another fella if you want to
i won't say you ever done me wrong
this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
hun
i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
up here in these tall pines leanin' into the wind
doing my best to catch my breath 'till i hit the road again
the only thing i know how to do is keep on rambling on
i guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
go find another fella if you want to
i won't say you ever done me wrong
this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
hun
i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
there's a great big shade tree shadowing the stones
where i want you to lay me down to rest my weary bones
there ain't really nowhere else in this earth i belong
guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
go find another fella if you want to
i won't say you ever done me wrong
this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto
hun
i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
hun
i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone
