(Mickie Merkens)      I packed up my suitcase   Pulled down my old bedroll   And I started to wander   Far from my home   And the time it passed quickly   And the days seemed to be hours   Far from your city   And Yarrington Town      Well, I wandered through the midnights   Of sea-bordered bar lights   And I wandered through the forests   As deep as the sea   But I never got lonesome   Until I'd hear a sad song   One to remind me of Yarrington Town      Well, I followed a miner   To his home in the North woods   And he promised to love me   As long as I'd stay   And I even saw lightning   Touch a stone in the mine field   Could not touch the lightning   In Yarrington Town      So I packed up my suitcase   I pulled out my old bedroll   And I started to wander   On back to my home   And the time it passed slowly   And the days seemed to be years   Far from your city   And Yarrington Town   I'm going home to your city   And Yarrington Town
