Lyrics:

We left our southern homes (I say, our southern homes)
And wandered north to roam (I say, north to roam)
Like birds, went seekin', (seekin') a brand new field of corn (field of corn)
We don't know why we are here, (we don't know why we are here)
But we're up here just the same (just the same)
And we are just the lonesomest
Girls that's ever born

Some of these days, (some of these days) we are going far away, (I say, far away)
Some of these days, (some of these days) we are going far away, (I say, far away)
Where we have got a lot of friends

And don't have no roof rent to pay
Oh, there'll come a day, (there'll come a day) when from us you'll hear no news, (I say, you'll hear no news)
Oh, there'll come a day, (there'll come a day) when from us you'll hear no news, (I say, you'll hear no news)
Then you will know, (you will know) that we, (that we) have died, (have died) from
Those lonesome far away blues
