I left my Adirondack home about a year ago
E F# B7
I met up with bad company, the kind you shouldn’t know
E A E
I learned to drink and gamble, turned out to be a bum
E B7 E
Now I’m tired of roamin’ around and I’m gonna be back home
E A E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E F# B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E A E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E B7 E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
E A E
Now dad has left this cruel world for heaven up above
E F# B7
Leaving mother all alone with thon and me to love
E A E
But I left my little home, found nothin’ short of pain
E B7 E
I know that I was wrong and I’m goin’ back again
E A E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E F# B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E A E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E B7 E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home

E A E
Now that you heard my story, don’t ever leave your home
E F# B7
When your mother needs you so don’t you ever start to roam
E A E
Don’t disappoint your mother for someday she’ll be gone
E B7 E
Whenever you’re away, don’t forget this little song
E A E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E F# B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E A E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E B7 E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
