about

Adapted from the traditional folk song with a new melody, new music, and many new lyrics by yours truly

lyrics

It's a long way from East Colorado
Oh to my home
It's a long way from East Colorado
Honey to my home

Been a long time since I've seen my sweetheart
Come a long way
Been a long time since I've seen my mother
Come a long way

Well I've heard the engines runnin'
Oh as I sleep
and I've thought of things I'm becomin'
Oh as I sleep

Now I'm bound for Massachusetts
Why I can't tell
Soon I'll be in Massachusetts
For how long, I can't tell

And I know she's still out there somewhere
Lookin' out for me
Yes I know she's still out there somewhere
Lookin' just for me

Take my hammer to the captain
Tell him I'm gone
Take my hammer to the captain
Tell him I'm gone

It's a long way from East Colorado
Oh to my home
It's a long way from East Colorado
Honey to my home
