E                         A            E
I left my Adirondack home about a year ago
E                              F#                 B7
I met up with bad company, the kind you shouldn’t know
E                              A                  E
I learned to drink and gamble, turned out to be a bum
E                                       B7            E
Now I’m tired of roamin’ around and I’m gonna be back home

E                                    A          E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E                             F#              B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E                                  A              E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E                                    B7         E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home

E                                     A         E
Now dad has left this cruel world for heaven up above
E                             F#             B7
Leaving mother all alone with thon and me to love
E                                A                E
But I left my little home, found nothin’ short of pain
E                               B7         E
I know that I was wrong and I’m goin’ back again

E                                    A          E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E                             F#              B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E                                  A              E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E                                    B7         E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home

E                                       A          E
Now that you heard my story, don’t ever leave your home
E                                       F#            B7
When your mother needs you so don’t you ever start to roam
E                                A                 E
Don’t disappoint your mother for someday she’ll be gone
E                           B7                 E
Whenever you’re away, don’t forget this little song

E                                    A          E
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E                             F#              B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E                                  A              E
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E                                    B7         E
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
