[Verse 1]
                            G          D
Well, I've been a traveller most o' my life
A                  D
Never took a home, never took a wife
                    G        D
Ran away young 'n decided to roam
D
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
 
[Chorus]
G                D
 Home, where the river run cold
    A                     D
The water taste good, the winters ain't cold
G                D
 Home, where the trees grow tall
    A                    D
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
 
[Break]

      (shuwah, shuwah)
 
[Verse 2]
                           G             D
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
   A                       D
My eyes would get big, his chest did really swell
                          G           D
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
N.C.                                      D
As he'd tell of how he lived, when he's a boy like me
 
[Chorus]
G                D
 Home, where the river run cold
    A           D
The water taste good, the winters ain't cold
G                D
 Home, where the trees grow tall
    A                    D
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
 
[Break]
| D | D | D | D |
 
[Verse 3]
      D
Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy?
A                          D
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy?
D
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
D
She said: "Come home, I'm a-missin' you so"
 
[Chorus]
G                D
 Home, where the river run cold
    A                     D
The water taste good, the winters ain't cold
G                D
 Home, where the trees grow tall
    A                    D
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
 
[Outro]
D
Whippoorwills call,  whippoorwills call,  whippoorwills call
