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.
  
   Well, I bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop,
   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.
  
   I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home.
