It's been an awful long time since I been home   But you won't catch me going back down there alone   Things they said when I was young    Are quite enough to get me hung   I don't care! I don't care!      They came and took my dad away to serve some time   But it was me that paid the debt he left behind   Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin   I don't care! I don't care!      Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!   I don't care! I don't care!      Folks were out one night to put me up a fence   And you can guess that I've been running ever since   Ain't no one that's 'bout to help   And I'll keep on, I tell myself   I don't care! I don't care!      I don't care! I don't care!   I don't care! I don't care!      Ain't no one that's 'bout to help   And I'll keep on, I tell myself   I don't care! I don't care!   I don't care! I don't care!   I don't care! I don't care!   I don't care! I don't care!   I don't care! I don't care!
