Lyrics
I’ve been working 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 they’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 they’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 dayAbout This Song
