D
My parents raised me tenderly,
Eb
D
I was their only son.
Eb
D
My mind got mixed with rambling
Eb
when I was all so young.
D
And I left my home the first time
when I was twelve and one.
Eb
D
I'm a long time a -comin',
Eb
I'll be a long time gone
D
On the western side of Texas,
on the Texas plains
I tried to find a job or work,
Eb
D
but they said I was young of age
Eb
D
My eyes they burned when I heard,
Go home where you belong
Eb
D
Eb
D
I'll be a long time gone
Eb
I remember when I was ramblin'
D
around
with the carnival trains
Eb
Different towns, different people,
D
somehow they're all the same
Eb
I remember children's
Eb
D
I remember I'm a long
time a -comin',

D
Eb
I once loved a fair young maiden,
D
I ain't too big to tell
If she broke my heart a single time,
she broke it ten or twelve
I walked and talked all by myself,
I did not tell no one
I'm a long time a -comin',
Eb
D
Eb
babe, I'll be a long time gone
D
Many times by the highway side
I tried to flag your ride
With bloodshot eyes
and gritting teeth
I'd watch the cars roll by
The empty air hung in my head,
I was thinkin' all alone
Eb
D
And a long time a -comin',
Eb
I'll be a long time gone
D
You might see me on your crossroads
when I'm a -passin' through
Remember me how you wish to
as I'm a -driftin' from your view
I ain't got the time to think about it,
I got too much to get done,
Well, I'm a long time a -comin',
Eb
and I'll be a long time gone.
D
If I can't help somebody
with a word or a song,
Eb
If I can 't show somebody
D
they're travelin' wrong,
But I know I ain't no prophet,
Eb
and I ain't no prophet's son
D
I'm just a long time a -comin',
Eb
D
and I'll be a long time gone
So you can have your beauty,
it's skin deep and it only lies
And you can have your youth,
it'll rot before your eyes
Just give to me my gravestone
with it clearly carved upon
There's a long time a -comin'
and I'll be a long time gone
D
