I've gotta get a train, take me back home again, 
 See my daddy, momma wants to see me too. 
 I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window 
 At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since I've been home. 

 I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home. 
 So come on girls, you better put your best boots on. 
 'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, 
 Won't know which way to go, I'm gonna find all those pretty girls. 
 I'm gonna find them all. 
 'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, 
 Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?]. 
 Then I'm gonna shout for more. 

 Well, I bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop, 
 Bought my ticket from money that I saved in jail. 
 I got a boot lace tie, I got for my Pa, 
 I got a head scarf, fair, I got for my momma that she won't wear. 

 I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home. 
 So come on girls, you better put your best boots on. 
 'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, 
 Won't know which way to go, I'm gonna find all those pretty girls. 
 I'm gonna find them all.

 Gonna lift the lid off hell, drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell[?].
