Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road

Started down the road
A                                                           E
Took all he had and started down the road
         A                                                     E
Going out in this world, where God only knows
        B7                                  E
And that'll be the way to get along

Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land

Famine come in the land
           A                                                     E
Spent all he had and famine come in the land
         A                                                         E
Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man"

And that'll be the way I'll get along

Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine

For to feed my swine

I'll give you a job for to feed my swine"

Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
            B7
Cause that is no way to get along
        E
Said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home

Believe I'll go back home
A                                                     E
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
     A                                              E
Or down the road as far as I can go"
     B7
And that'll be the way to get along
         E
Well, father said, "See my son coming home to me

Coming home to me"
A                                                 E
Father ran and fell down on his knees
          A                                                           E
Said, "Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me"
B7
Mercy...
      E
Oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried

Hung his head and cried
A                                                             E
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
          A                                                  E
Said, "Father will you look on me as a child?"
B7
Yeah....
         E
Well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf,

Call the family round
A                                                 E
Kill that calf and call the family round
A                                               E
My son was lost but now he is found
B7
Cause that's the way for us to get along"
B7          E
