DI ain't got no home, I'm Gjust a-roamin' D'round

Just a wandrin' worker, I Ego from town to Atown

DPolice make it hard Gwherever I may Dgo

And I ain't got no home in Athis world anymore

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road

A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod

Rich man took my home and drove me from my door

And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor

My crops I lay into the banker's store

My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor

And I ain't got no home in this world anymore

I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn

I been working, mister, since the day I was born

Now I worry all the time like I never did before

'Cause 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 great and a funny place to be

Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor

And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
