Leaving In The Morning Lyrics

I've been workin' in this dusty old pit Tryin' to make my rent for the sixth

The landlord said I'm always a week late I've got a wife and two mouths to feed

Been waitin' for opportunity So one day I get this letter in the mail

You're gonna work far away Makin' money on the railroad train

I'm sorry honey, I hate that I have to go

Now I'm leavin' in the mornin' When I'll be back I just don't know

So tell me that you love me And you'll be here when I come home

I knelt down on one knee I told my kids don't you be missin' me

I'll be back right here before you know

Don't you leave said my darlin' wife Your kids need you in their life

But diggin' ditches ain't enough to pay the rent

Now I'm leavin' in the mornin' When I'll be back I just don't know

So tell me that you love me And you'll be here when I come home

Got one foot on that train My starvin' family is a cryin' shame

So I'll ride this train down the line

Look at all the sights I've seen I wish I had my wife and kids with me

But I have to work so they can have a better life

Now I'm leavin' in the mornin' When I'll be back I just don't know

So tell me that you love me And you'll be here when I come home

Now I'm leavin' in the mornin' When I'll be back I just don't know

So tell me that you love me And you'll be here when I come home
