I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round,
   Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town.
   And the police make it hard wherever I may go
   And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
   My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road,
   A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod;
   Rich man took my home and drove me from my door
   And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
  
   Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor;
   My crops I lay into the banker's store.
   My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor,
   And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
  
   Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see
   This world is such a great and a funny place to be;
   Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor,
   And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
