I'm goin' where them chilly winds don' blow, darlin' baby,
I'm goin' where them chilly winds don' blow, darlin' babe,
An' I'm goin' to my dark lonesome home.

O make me a pallet on the floor, darlin' baby,
O make me a pallet on the floor, darlin' babe,
An' I'm goin' to my dark lonesome home.

3

O who'll hoe your corn when I'm gone, darlin' baby,
O who'll hoe your corn when I'm gone, darlin' babe,
An' I'm goin' to my dark lonesome home.

4

I'm goin' if I have to ride a rail, darlin' baby,
I'm goin' if I have to ride a rail, darlin' babe,
An' I'm goin' to my dark lonesome home.
