I'm comin' on home down that good road today
Last night was the last time, I'll sleep in the hay
No more will I tramp down that long dusty road
With a back that is breakin' carrying the load

I'll be home in about a day or so
Just let my baby know
I'll be home in about a day or so
Just let my baby know

I'm comin' on home down that good road today
No more will I travel, till my judgement day
I'm tired of old shanties beside railroad tracks
Jumpin' on freight trains and no food in my sack

I'll be home in about a day or so
Just let my baby know (oh won't you let my baby know)
I'll be home in about a day or so (oh yes I will)
Just let my baby know

I'm comin' on home down that good road today
Please don't delay me 'cause I'm on my way
I've done with driftin' I've made up my mind
I'm travellin' this road for the very last time

I'll be home in about a day or so
Just let my baby know (oh won't you let my baby know-oh-oh whoa)
I'll be home in about a day or so (oh yes I will I)
Just let my baby know (don't you know I'm gonna be home soon)
I'll be home in about a day or so (oh lord yes I will)
Just let my baby know (don't you know I'm gonna be home real soon)
I'll be home in about
