words & music: John Lambert
he left in the morning
in the early spring
crying at the trouble
that the day would bring
and he said
hey son
it's going to be a little while
'till I get home
'till I get home
hey and mary
she said to me
he ain't coming back
he ain't coming back
here no more
and she stood there standing
with a tear in her eye
trying damn hard
trying not to cry
and he said
hey son
it's going to be a little while
'till I get home
'till I get home
