G
I've been working out in the rain
C G
Tied to a dirty old ball and chain
A7 D7
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
G
Some sweet day will turn me loose
C G
From this dirty old calaboose
A7 D7 G
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
[Chorus]
C G
Some old day you'll wait for me and pray
A7 D7
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
G
Some sweet day will turn me loose
C G
From this dirty old calaboose
A7 D7 G
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
[Verse 2]
Oh dear mother I've hurt you so
C G
I've been cruel to you I know
A7 D7
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
G
Tell my brother my sister and dad
C G
They’re the best friends that I’ve had
A7 D7 G
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
[Chorus]
C G
Some old day you'll wait for me and pray
A7 D7
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
G
Some sweet day will turn me loose
C G
From this dirty old calaboose
A7 D7 G
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
[Chorus]
C G
Some old day you'll wait for me and pray
A7 D7
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
G
Some sweet day will turn me loose
C G
From this dirty old calaboose
A7 D7 G
Oh dear mother I'll come home some old day
