Porterville

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

But you won't catch me going 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!



Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!

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 running 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

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!

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

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