I went to my old village, I did it just for fun
Yes I went to my old village and I did it just for fun
And I also had another reason Lord, cause I had no way to run

The first man I met was old Johnson and his son, they call him Chris
The first man I met was old Johnson and his son, they call him Chris
And if you haven't seen little Chris, Lord, you don't know what you miss

Then I went to cousin Harry, he owns a fine old inn
I went to my cousin Harry, he owns a fine old inn
And I drunk all night it was really nice, you know that it was in my sin, you know

And I went that night to my little house, 'cause I had no way to run
Yes I went that night to my little house, I had no way to run
But I also had another reason Lord, you know it was just for fun

I went to my old village, I did it just for fun
Yes I went to my old village and I did it just for fun
And I also had another reason Lord, cause I had no way to run
