[Verse 1]
D
I left my old home, to ramble this country
G D
My mother and dad, said son don't go wrong.
G D
Remember that God, will always watch over you.
A D
And we will be waiting, for you here at home.
[Chorus]
G D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.
A D
Remember that love, for God can be found.
G D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.
D A
For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.
[Verse 2]
D
For many long years, I've travelled in sorrow.
G D
No thought of the day, when I would return.
G D
Now as I come home, and find no one waiting,
A D
the price I have paid, to live and to learn.
[Chorus]
G D
Son don't go astray, was what they both told me.
A D
Remember that love, for God can be found.
G D
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me.
D A
For years they've been dead, the fields have turned brown.
