It's been an awful long time
Since I been home,
But you won't catch me goin'
Back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young
Are quite enough to get me hung.

I don't care! I don't care!

They came and took my Dad away
To serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt
He left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin,
Because I was the next of kin.

I don't care! I don't care!

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I don't care! I don't care!

Folks were out one night
To put me up a fence,
And you can guess that I've been
Runnin' ever since.
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help,
And I'll keep on, I tell myself.

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

Ain't no one that's 'bout to help,
And I'll keep on, I tell myself.

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
