(Jack Kerouac)

I left New York in 1949
To go across the country without a bad blame dime
Montana in the cold cold fall
Found my father in the gambling hall

Father, Father where you been?
I've been out in the world since I was only ten

Don't worry about me, I'm about to die die of pleurisy

Across the Mississippi, across the Tennessee
Across the Niagara, home I'll never be
Home in ol' Medora, home in Ol' Truckee
Apalachicola, home I'll never be

Better or for worse, thick and thin
Like being married to the Little poor man
God he loves me
Just like I love him
I want you to do
Just the same for him

Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind
Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind
Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind
Well the worms eat away but don't worry watch the wind

So I left Monatana on an old freight train
The night my father died in the cold cold rain

Home in ol' Medora, home in Ol' Truckee
Apalachicola, home I'll never be
Home I'll never be
Home I'll never be
