It's been an awful long time since i been home,
But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone.
Things they said when i was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I don't care! i don't care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said i was full of sin, because i was the next of kin.
I don't care! i don't care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I don't care! i don't care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that i've been runnin' ever since.
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and i'll keep on, i tell myself.
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help,
And i'll keep on, i tell myself.
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
I don't care! i don't care!
