'til i'm dead and gone

high up in the mountains cutting the timbers down, all i do from dusk to dawn is follow that mule around, i had no intentions of staying away this long, but i guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, picked peaches down in georgia, cotton in tennessee, trying to make a livin's going to be the death of me, so if you want to find me just look where the wind has blown, hun, i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, go find another fella if you want to, i won't say you ever done me wrong, this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto, hun, i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, up here in these tall pines leanin' into the wind, doing my best to catch my breath 'till i hit the road again, the only thing i know how to do is keep on rambling on, i guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, go find another fella if you want to, i won't say you ever done me wrong, this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto, hun, i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, there's a great big shade tree shadowing the stones, where i want you to lay me down to rest my weary bones, there ain't really nowhere else in this earth i belong, guess i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, go find another fella if you want to, i won't say you ever done me wrong, this of heart ain't nothing to hold onto, hun, i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone, hun, i won't be home 'til i'm dead and gone,
