Lyrics

But you won't catch me goin'

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!

Folks were out one night

To put me up a fence

But you can guess that I've

Been runnin' ever since

Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, but

I'll keep on, I tell myself

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

Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, but

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!
