[Verse 1]
Well, a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road
Started down the road
Took all he had and started down the road
Going out in this world, where God only knows
And that'll be the way to get along

[Verse 2]
Well, poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land
Famine come in the land
Spent all he had, and famine come in the land
Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man
And that'll be the way I'll get along"

[Verse 3]
Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine
For to feed my swine
I'll give you a job for to feed my swine"
Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
Because that is no way to get along

[Verse 4]
Said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
Or down the road as far as I can go
And that'll be the way to get along"
