Couldn't find it in database. Country song with refrain like this - Some old day...you'll look for me and pray Dear mother I'll be home some old day Some old day they'll turn me loose From this dirty old calaboose Dear mother I'll be home some old day. Anyone familiar with it? Thanks for looking.

Here 'tis, Uncle Frank.

Some Old Day - Flatt and Scruggs

I've been workin' out in the rain,
Tied to a dirty old ball and chain.
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.
Some sweet day, they'll turn me loose
From this dirty old callaboose.
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.

CHORUS
Some old day, you'll wait for me and pray,
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.
Some sweet day they'll turn me loose
From this dirty old callaboose.
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.

Oh, dear mother, I've hurt you so.
I've been cruel to you I know.
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.
Tell my brother, my sister and dad,
They're the best friends that I've had.
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home, some old day.

CHORUS

Many thanks. Flatt & Scruggs. Son of a gun! Words seem a little more old-timey, would have suspected Jimmie Rodgers, but who cares, the song's the thing. Much obliged!
