Lyrics

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, boys, looks like rain Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain I'm on my long journey home It's dark and a raining and I want to go home Want to go home, boys, want to go home Its dark and a raining and I want to go home I'm on my long journey home Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue I'm on my long journey home There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train Surely is a train boys, surely is a train There's black smoke a rising and it surely is a train I'm on my long journey home

About This Song

Two Dollar Bill (Long Journey Home) is a Stanley Brothers classic that showcases their signature high lonesome sound. The song tells the story of a rambler leaving home with nothing but a two dollar bill in his pocket, and it's become a jam session favorite thanks to its simple three-chord structure and memorable melody.
