Lyrics:
- I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,
- Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town.
- And the police make it hard wherever I may go
- And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
- My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road,
- A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod;
- Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
- And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
- Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor;
- My crops I lay into the banker's store.
- My wife took down and died 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 working, mister, since the day I was born
- Now I worry all the time like I never did before
- 'Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore
- Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
- This world is such a great and a funny place to be;
- Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor,
- And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
