The sun came up and I opened up my eyes
Only to find sweet Melinda at my side
I ain’t no good she might as well be alone
The best thing to do is just keep on moving on

I packed up my clothes and I sat upon the bed
I’m off to careless woods sweet Melinda said
There’s beavers in the streams and foxes on the roam
I’m a lichen and I’ve got to move along

And I’ll be gone with the sunshine, I’ll be gone
And I won’t be back 'til the rain has come along
I’ll be home come December Mama Lynn
And I’ll be by your side once again

August she came and the world was hot and dry
Careless creeper’s empty and the traps ain’t had a bite
It’s just no good to be hiding out alone
I guess that it’s time to get back out on the road

I started for nowhere, just a thinking when I go
When I looked up in the sky and sun was turning cold
I thought about Melinda in the back of my mind
I’m feeling that I’ve got to head for home

And I’ll be gone, through the springtime I’ll be gone
And I won’t be back 'til the fall has come along
I’ll be home with the winter mama Lynn
And I’ll be by your side once again

And I’ll be gone with the sunshine, I’ll be gone
And I won’t be back 'til the rain has come along
I’ll be home come December Mama Lynn
And I’ll be by your side once again
