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.
