From the recording The Song My Heart Sings
Lyrics
I'm goin back again, how bout you?
I'm goin back to see the whole thing through.
And when I finally get there, I know just what I'll do.
But do you think that she'll be waiting there for you.
Now the day I left for Durham was a hard and rocky day;
Three times I almost turned back from that hard and rock way.
But I thought I had a job to do; it's best to go it alone.
But a man can hardly make it on his own.
[chorus]
Well it's back-breaking labor 'neath the Carolina sun,
And the pay ain't hardly worth it when the day is done.
The tobacco stains on your hands just won't go away.
And a man needs more than money anyway.
[chorus]
But do you think that she'll be waiting there for you.
