Who's gonna meet me in the morning
When it's cold and I've got to go
Who's gonna be with me
And help me walk along that lonesome road
I don't really wanna tell you that I'm broke
And I've got no place to go that I know
Well, I've drifted around some city towns
Seen a lot of ups and downs
And I've seen a lot of jails, yes I have
And I know just how to understand
The feelings of a lonely man who fails
And if I could, my tears just find a way
I'd jump aboard the nearest ship that sails
Why don't you take me away with you
Why don't you take me away with you
Back, back to the backwoods
I long to see my girl
I met a girl in an eastern town
She took me in, I was feeling down that night
Yes I was now
I thought that I could know her well
And tell her of the trouble in my life
But she took me for all my money
And left me to the mercy of the cold, dark night
Why don't you take me away
Why don't you take me away
(Back to the backwoods)
Back to the backwoods
You know I long, you know I long
You know I long to see my girl
Why don't you take me away
Please take me away
(Back to the backwoods)
Back to the backwoods
You know I long, you know I long
To see my girl
