Some Old Day

I've been working all 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 Calaboose
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home some old day
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 Calaboose
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home some old day

Oh, dear mother, I 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
Tell the dear friends that I had
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home some old day
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 Calaboose
Oh, dear mother, I'll come home some old day
