Pretty darlin', I'm going down, down, down
Now you've said you don't want me around
I chased a freight train bound outta mine, outta town
To find my peace and old southern sounds
I dreamt your face by the fireside
I screamed your name in the moonlight
Baby, please let me come home
I can't make it on my own
Like a dirty dog
Like a dirty wolf
ย
Oh, I stumbled towards Decatur to go to town for one last round
And I shot poor Louis for the gold he found
I ain't got my .44 no more and the warden says I'm done for
And darlin', I might never see you again
Oh, I'm working a shaking count of the days
'Til that warden turns his back after spittin' in my face
Oh, baby, I am coming home
I can't make it on my own
Like a dirty dog
Like a dirty wolf
ย
Oh, I snuck my way back to Baton Rouge
Grabbed some cash to come home to you
And blew the safe out of the county bank
Oh, I was stuffing bills in my coat pocket
Running home through swamp and thicket
Found my way to our front door
Oh, I was peeking through the shades to find your face
And there's another man laying where I used to lay
Only two shots rang loud
I dug two holes in the ground
Like a dirty dog
Like a dirty wolf
ย
I dreamt your face by the fireside
I screamed your name in the moonlight
Baby, please let me come home
I can't make it on my own
Like a dirty dog
Like a dirty wolf
