  • It's been an awful long time since I been home
    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

    Ooh
    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 runnin' 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

    I don't care
    I don't care
    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 (ooh)
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care
    I don't care
    I don't care
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care
    I don't care
    I don't care (ooh)
    I don't care (ooh)

  • Miphplar from Sydney , AustraliaSaw them live in Melbourne, Australia in 1972
    Disappointing. Didn't do the Grapevine like the audience wanted
    Could have been good, very poor choice of material
    No interaction with the audience
    See Paul Mccartney live shows
    Mungo Jerry much much better
    Did a great job on baby jump
