Here is a version. There are many different versions!

LONG JOURNEY HOME or TWO-DOLLAR BILL
Trad:

Cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
Looks like rain, Lord, it looks like rain
Cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
I'm on my long journey home.

CHORUS: Lost all my money, but a two-dollar bill
Two-dollar bill, Lord, a two-dollar bill
Lost all my money but a two-dollar bill
I'm on my long journey home.

Black smoke a-risin' and it surely is a train
Surely is a train, Lord, it surely is a train
Black smoke a-risin' and it surely is a train
I'm on my long journey home.

I hear the train a-comin' and I’ll soon be gone
Soon be gone, Lord, I’ll soon be gone
I hear the train a-comin' and I’ll soon be gone
I'm on my long journey home.

It's dark and a-rainin' and I wanta go to bed
Wanta go to bed, Lord, I wanta go to bed
It's dark and a-rainin' and I wanta go to bed
I'm on my long journey home.
