Floyd Council / Runaway Man Blues

When I left my home
I left my baby crying
When I left my home
I left my baby crying
Saying daddy you gonna leave me
and it sure do grieve my mind

My mama's in the kitchen
Sister's in the door
Yeeeeeeah
Sister's in the door
But my baby's in the backyard
Crying daddy don't go

Don't you worry about me mama
Don't count the days I'm gone
Don't you worry about me mama
Don't count the days I'm gone
'Cause you got to remember
Someday your daddy will be back home

All right boy

I'm gonna get me a razor
Knife and a blue steel gun
I'm gonna get me a razor
Knife and a blue steel gun
So I can cut you if you stand
Shoot you if you run
