	Story Behind the Song When I first heard this tune in 1969 it struck me... I couldn't get it out of my head and heart so I finally recorded it on this CD. Lyrics Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road - Started down the road Took all he had and started down the road - Going out in this world, where God only knows He said "that'll be the way to get along" Well poor boy spent all he had, famine came in the land - Famine came in the land Spent all he had and famine come in the land - Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man" And that'll be the way I'll get along Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine - For to feed my swine I'll give you a job for to feed my swine - Boy stood there and hung his head and cried `Cause that is not the way to get along Boy said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home - Believe I'll go back home Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home - Or down the road as far as I can go" And that'll be the way I'll get along Well, father said, "See my son coming home to me - Coming home to me" Father ran and fell down on his knees - Said, "Thank you Lord for havin' mercy on me - Thank you Lord" Oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried - Hung his head and cried Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried - Said, "Father will you look on me as your child? - ahve mercy" Well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf, - Call the family round - Kill that calf and call the family round - My son was lost but now he is found - Praise God!
