  38 My parents raised me tenderly
  39   C              D
  40 I was their only son.
  41    D
  42 My mind got mixed with ramblin'
  43      C            D
  44 When I was all so young.
  45       D
  46 An' I left my home the first time
  47      C                D
  48 When I was twelve an' one.
  49       D
  50 I'm a long time a-comin', Ma
  51      C              D
  52 I'll be a long time gone.

  54 On the western side of Texas
  55 On the Texas plains
  56 I tried to find a job of work
  57 But they said I's young of age.
  58 My eyes they burned when I heard
  59 &quot;Go home where you belong!&quot;
  60 I'm a long time a-comin'
  61 I'll be a long time gone.
  62
  63 I remember when I's ramblin'
  64 Around with the carnival trains.
  65 Different towns, different people
  66 Somehow they're all the same
  67 I remember children's faces best
  68 I remember travelin' on.
  69 I'm a long time a-comin'
  70 I'll be a long time gone.
  71
  72 I once loved a fair young maid
  73 An' I ain't too big to tell
  74 If she broke my heart a single time
  75 She broke it ten or twelve.
  76 I walked an' talked all by myself
  77 I did not tell no one.
  78 I'm a long time a-comin', babe
  79 I'll be a long time gone.

  83 Many times by the highway side
  84 I tried to flag a ride
  85 With bloodshot eyes an' grittin' teeth
  86 I'd watch the cars roll by.
  87 The empty air hung in my head
  88 I's thinkin' all day long.
  89 I'm a long time a-comin'
  90 An' I'll be a long time gone.
  91
  92 You might see me on your crossroads
  93 When I'm passin' thru
  94 Remember me how you wished to
  95 As I'm a-driftin' from your view.
  96 I ain't got the time to think about it
  97 I got too much to get done.
  98 Well, I'm a long time a-comin'
  99 An' I'll be a long time gone.
 100
 101 If I can't help somebody
 102 With a word or song
 103 If I can't show somebody
 104 They are travelin' wrong.
 105 But I know I ain't no prophet
 106 An' I ain't no prophet's son.
 107 I'm just a long time a-comin'
 108 An' I'll be a long time gone.
 109
 110 So you can have your beauty
 111 It's skin deep an' it only lies
 112 An' you can have your youth
 113 It'll rot before your eyes.
 114 Just give to me my gravestone
 115 With it clearly carved upon.
 116 &quot;I's a long time a-comin'
 117 An' I'll be a long time gone.&quot;
