Early in the morning
When the sun will shine
I'll be ridin' the southbound line
I'll be rollin', goin' home
With my promise, to never more roam
Cold winds blowin' through the trees
Heartsick and weary, I long for ease
Yes, I'm ridin', goin' home
With my promise, never more roam
Yeah, she cried when I left her
She said, please be true
And please don't forget me
Because you know I love you
Now I'm goin' home to see her
And I know she'll be there
Yes, I'm ridin', goin' home
With my promise, never more roam
