I've been workin' out in the rain

Tied to the dirty old ball and chain

Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day

Some sweet day the'll turn me loose

From this dirty old calaboose

Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day

Some old day

You'll wait for me and pray

Oh dear mother i'll come home some old day

Some sweet day the'll turn me loose

From this dirty old calaboose

Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day

Oh dear mother I've hurt you so

I've been cruel to you I know

Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day

Tell my brother My sister and dad

Tell the dear friends that I've had

Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
