Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
Two dollar bill, boys, two dollar bill
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
I'm on my long journey home

Cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
Looks like rain, boy, it looks like rain
Cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
I'm on my long journey home

* Refrain

Black smoke a-risin', and it surely is a train
Surely is a train, boys, surely is a train
Black smoke a-risin', and it surely is a train
I'm on my long journey home

* Refrain

I hear the train a-comin', and I'll soon be gone
Soon be gone, lord, soon be gone
I hear the train a-comin', and I'll soon be gone
I'm on my long journey home

* Refrain

Homesick and lonesome and a-feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue, lord, feeling kind of blue
Homesick and lonesome and a-feeling kind of blue
I'm on my long journey home

* Refrain

It's dark and a-rainin' and I've got to go home
Got go home, boys, got go home
It's dark and a-rainin' and I've got to go home
I'm on my long journey home

* Refrain
