THAT'S MY SONG George and Barbara Tomsco
It's been a long life; done a whole lot of workin', Had a hard time, but I'm always learnin'. It's been a good life, but there's still that yearnin'. That's my song. Mm-mm-mm. That's my song.
Makes me wonder, but I don't think I'm mistaken. Gettin' tired now; too much time I've wasted waitin'. All alone now; have no folks, no relations. That's my song. Mm-mm-mm. That's my song.
I wish I knew what I am and where I'm goin'. Tried my best, but I still ain't made my showin'. All I know, when that freight-train whistle's blowin', That's my song. Mm-mm-mm. That's my song.
[Recorded by Carolyn Hester, "That's My Song," Dot LP DLP3604, 196?, and on "At Town Hall;" by Esther Ofarim on "Songs of Our Life;" and by Jimmy Gilmer on "Lucky 'Leven/Folkbeat."]
