I Ain't Got No Home

(album: Tooth & Nail - 2013)

I ain't got no home, I'm justa roaming 'round
Just a wandering worker, I roam from town to town
And the police make it hard for me, no matter where I go
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
No I ain't got no home in this world anymore

My brothers and my sisters are all stranded on this road
The long and dusty road that a million feet have trod
Now a rich man took my home and drove me from my door
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
No I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I was farming on the shares and always I was poor
My crops are laid into the banker's store
And my wife took down and down, oh on the cabin floor
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
No I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I minded in your mines and I gathered in your corn
I've been working, Mr., since the day that I was born
Now I worry all the time, like I never did before
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
No I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
This world is such a strange and funny place to be
Where the gambling man is rich while the working man is poor
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
No I ain't got no home in this world anymore
