Lyrics --
Hear it
Traditional
Sung by Alan Fuller, harmonies by Andy Alexis and Dorothy Hawkinson
I pitched my tent on this campground
few days, few days
to give old Satan another round
and I am going home
Chorus
I can't stay in these diggin's
few days, few days
lord, i can't stay in these diggins
and I am going home
Chorus
A few more days of wind and rain
few days few days
a few more days of suffering pain
and I am going home
Chorus
those banking thieves I will not trust
few days, few days
but with me take my little dust
and I am going home
Chorus
a few more rolling years at most
few days, few days
will end my soul on glory's coast
and I am going home
Chorus
I'll leave this world of rags and dirt
few days, few days
and wear a plug and ruffled shirt
and I am going home
Chorus
oh won't I have some high old times
few days, few days
a telling yards about the mines
and I am going home
Chorus
