E7             A
Oh won't you stay, stay awhile
          D   E   E7
With your own ones.
              A
Don't ever stray, stray so far
          D   E
From your own ones.
          A              A7
This old world is so cold.
                             D
Don't care nothin' for your soul
      E             A
You share with your own ones.

Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
Just one more day
One more day with your own ones
And the world is so cold
Don't care nothing 'bout your soul
That you share with your own ones

A7           D
There's a stranger and he's
                  A
Standing at your door.
                   D
May be your best friend
               F#m
Might be your brother,
                E  E7
You may never know.

I'm going back
Going back to my own ones
I'm back to talk
Talk awhile with my own ones
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing 'bout your soul
You share with your own ones

Oh won't you stay?
One more day with your own ones
Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
This old world is so cold
Don't care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones
