      E
It's been an awful long time since I been home,
But you won't catch me going back down there alone.
  D
Things they said when I was young,
      A
are quite enough to get me hung.
E
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!)

E
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!)

E
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

  D                                A
Ain’t no one that's 'bout to help, and
I'll keep on, I tell myself.

E
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!
