I've gotta get a train, take me back home again,

See my daddy, momma wants to see me too.

I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window

At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since i've been home.



I've been doing wrong but now i'm going home.

So come on girls, you better put your best boots on.

'cause when i get home to lincoln county,

Won't know which way to go, i'm gonna find all those pretty girls.

I'm gonna find them all.

'cause when i get home to lincoln county,

Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, i'm gonna live it swell[?].

Then i'm gonna shout for more.

Bought my ticket from money that i saved in jail.

I got a boot lace tie, i got for my pa,

I got a head scarf, fair, i got for my momma that she won't wear.
