[00:01.17]Long Time Gone - Various Artists
[00:11.61]My parents raised me tenderly
[00:13.53]
[00:14.33]I was their only son
[00:15.73]
[00:18.33]My mind got mixed with ramblin'
[00:20.89]
[00:22.03]When I was all so young
[00:23.47]
[00:25.43]And I left my home the first time
[00:28.42]When I was twelve and one
[00:30.15]
[00:32.44]I'm a long time a-comin', Maw
[00:35.02]
[00:35.89]An' I'll be a long time gone
[00:37.63]
[00:41.13]On the western side of Texas
[00:43.17]
[00:44.63]On the Texas plains
[00:45.80]
[00:48.67]I tried to find a job o' work
[00:50.57]
[00:51.22]But they said l's young of age
[00:53.30]
[00:55.49]My eyes, they burned when I heard
[00:57.16]"Go home where you belong"
[00:58.59]
[00:59.11]I'm a long time a-comin'
[01:00.26]An' I'll be a long time gone
[01:03.91]I remember when I's ramblin'
[01:05.26]Around with the carnival trains
[01:07.06]
[01:09.24]Different towns, different people
[01:10.85]Somehow they're all the same
[01:12.07]I remember children's faces best
[01:13.96]
[01:16.11]I remember travelin' on
[01:17.23]I'm a long time a-comin'
[01:18.53]I'll be a long time gone
[01:20.05]I once loved a fair young maid
[01:22.18]
[01:22.92]An' I ain't too big to tell
[01:24.98]If she broke my heart a single time
[01:26.87]She broke it ten or twelve
[01:28.40]I walked and talked all by myself
[01:30.70]I did not tell no one
[01:32.51]I'm a long time a-comin', babe
[01:34.41]
[01:35.27]An' I'll be a long time gone
[01:37.36]
[01:40.63]Many times by the highway side
[01:42.27]
[01:42.86]I tried to flag a ride
[01:44.48]With bloodshot eyes and gritting teeth
[01:46.01]
[01:47.80]I'd watch the cars roll by
[01:49.10]The empty air hung in my head
[01:49.31]I's thinkin' all day long
[01:50.68]I'm a long time a-comin'
[01:51.86]I'll be a long time gone
[01:53.75]You might see me on your crossroads
[01:56.22]
[01:56.76]When I'm a-passin' through
[01:57.78]Remember me how you wished to
[01:58.98]As I'm a-driftin' from your view
[02:00.34]I ain't got the time to think about it
[02:02.35]I got too much to get done
[02:03.76]Well, I'm a long time comin'
[02:05.01]An' I'll be a long time gone
[02:06.54]
[02:10.09]If I can't help somebody
[02:11.99]
[02:12.74]With a word or song
[02:14.77]
[02:17.05]If I can't show somebody
[02:18.94]
[02:19.79]They are travelin' wrong
[02:21.30]
[02:24.07]But I know I ain't no prophet
[02:27.02]An' I ain't no prophet's son
[02:29.00]
[02:30.59]I'm just a long time a-comin'
[02:33.00]
[02:33.99]An' I'll be a long time gone
[02:36.49]
[02:39.37]So you can have your beauty
[02:41.71]
[02:42.38]It's skin deep and it only lies
[02:45.81]
[02:46.59]And you can have your youth
[02:48.67]
[02:49.24]It'll rot before your eyes
[02:50.70]
[02:53.37]Just give to me my gravestone
[02:55.44]
[02:56.30]With it clearly carved upon
[02:57.64]
[03:00.27]"I's a long time a-comin'
[03:02.10]
[03:03.18]An' I'll be a long time gone"
