Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
Started down the road
Started down the road
Took all he had and started down the road
Took everything he had and started down the road
Going out in this world, where God only knows
Going out into this world where God only knows
And that'll be the way to get along
And that'll be the way to get along
Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land
Well poor boy spent all he had, famine came into the land
Famine come in the land
Famine comes into the land
Spent all he had and famine come in the land
Spent all he had and famine came into the land
Said, 'I believe I'll go and hire me to some man'
Said, 'I think I'll go and hire me to some man'
And that'll be the way I'll get along
And that'll be the way I'll get along
Well, man said, 'I'll give you a job for to feed my swine
Well, they said, 'I'll give you a job for to feed my swine
For to feed my swine
For to feed my swine
I'll give you a job for to feed my swine'
I'll give you a job to feed my swine'
Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
Cause that is no way to get along
Cause that's no way to get along
Said, 'I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Said, 'I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Or down the road as far as I can go'
Or down the road as far as I can go'
And that'll be the way to get along
And that'll be the way to get along
Well, father said, 'See my son coming home to me
Well, father said, 'See my son coming home to me
Coming home to me'
Coming home to me
Father ran and fell down on his knees
Father ran and fell down on his knees
Said, 'Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me'
Said, 'Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me'
Mercy
Mercy
poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried
Hung his head and cried
Hung his head and cried
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
Said, 'Father will you look on me as a child?'
Said, 'Father will you look at me as a child?'
Well father said, 'Eldest son, kill the fatted calf
Well father said, 'Eldest son, kill the fatted calf
Call the family round
Call the family round
Kill that calf and call the family round
Kill that calf and call the family round
My son was lost but now he is found
My son was lost but now he is found
Cause that's the way for us to get along'
'Cause that's the way for us to get along'
Hey
