As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1961 Album JERRY LEE'S GREATEST!) [Intro] F [Verse 1]
N.C.                       Bb              F
Well, I've been a traveler most of my life

  C                       F
I never took a home and I never took a wife

                   Bb              F
Ran away young and decided to roam
N.C. I wanna see my mama and my daddy back home [Chorus]
Bb              F
Home, where the river runs cold

C                         F
The water tastes good and the winters ain't cold

Bb              F
Home, where the trees grow tall

    C7                   F
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
[Verse 2]
F                          Bb            F
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell

   C7                          F
My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell

                          Bb          F
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
N.C. How I used to be when he's a boy like me [Chorus]
Bb              F
Home, where the river runs cold

C                         F
The water tastes good and the winters ain't cold

Bb              F
Home, where the trees grow tall

    C7                   F
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
[Verse 3]
F                            Bb                  F
Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy

C                          F
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy

                           Bb          F
Mom wrote a letter, got it not long ago
N.C. She said "get on home, I'm missin' you so [Chorus]
Bb              F
Home, where the river runs cold

C                         F
The water tastes good and the winters ain't cold

Bb              F
Home, where the trees grow tall

    C7                   F
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
[Outro] F
