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!
