I'm going back to the Swanno Mountain
Lordy that's my home, baby, that's my home.

Got sixteen brackets on my banjo
Lord it rings like silver, baby, shines like gold.

I got a letter from my woman
Lordy she's gone blind, baby, she can't see.

repeat verse 1

I got a letter from my captain
Lordy he's in jail, baby, he's in jail.

repeat verse 1

Lyrics from the note booklet in the vinyl edition.
