I’m Gonna Settle Down Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

Every night I′m all alone never place to call my own
Don't have no one to love me anymore
I′m gonna pack up my grip and take a long long trip
Back to the one that I love so

So long to go back to my darlin' back to the one I love so well
I know she'll be my wife when we′ll settle down for life
For she′s the one who means the world to me


[ Mandolin ]
I can't forget the day I laughed and went away
You told me I′d be sorry some old day
I found it to be true so I'm headin′ back to you
Sweetheart I'm tired and I′m gonna settle down
So long to go back...

[ Fiddle ]
When I get back to her my ramblin' days are o'er
We′ll build a little cottage on the hill
We′ll think of days gone by sweetheart just you and I
And now we'll live so happy evermore

So long to go back...
