Here's the version sung by Doc Watson at a concert in Chapel Hill, NC in 1979Chorus: Lost all my money......(as above)
It's dark and a-raining and I'm gonna go home
I'm gonna go home, yes I'm bound to go home
It's dark and a-raining and I'm gonna go home
I'm on my long journey homeCHORUS
Black smoke a-rising and it surely is a train
It surely is a train, yes it must be a train
Black smoke a-rising and it surely is a train
I'm on my long journey homeCHORUS
I'm homesick and lonesome, feeling awful blue
Feeling mighty blue, yes I'm feeling awful blue
I'm homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling awful blue
I'm on my long journey homeCHORUS
What I find interesting about this song is that the tune bears a strking resemblance to a camp song I learned many years ago, "Do Lord, Oh do Lord, Oh do remember me......." and the same tune is used for another old song called "Dead Heads and Suckers"
