Key of C · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

C
I've been a traveler the most of my life
        G7            C
I never took a home I never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
                           G7                     C
But now I'd like to see my momma and my papa back home

Verse 2

F                     C
Well a home where the river runs cold
    G7                    C             F
The water tastes good the winters ain't cold
             C
A home where trees grow tall
    G7                          C
The home fires burn the whippoorwills call

Verse 3

Well I remember stories that my pappy used to tell
     G7                       C
Yeah my eyes would get big my chest just a swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
                                  G7              C
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me

Verse 2

F                     C
Well a home where the river runs cold
    G7                    C             F
The water tastes good the winters ain't cold
             C
A home where trees grow tall
    G7                          C
The home fires burn the whippoorwills call

Verse 4

Now momma dear momma do you still love your boy
             G7                  C
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom you sent a letter got it not long ago
                          G7                      C
And you said to come home cause you're missin' me so
