Back Home

Back home, back home

Yes, I'm going back home

Why I can't believe, it's been this long

Since I've seen mom and dad

When I left my mountain home behind

I left them both so sad

My brothers and my sisters

That were babies then, are grown

Years have past, and now at last

I'm on my way back home

Back home, back home

Yes, I'm going back home

To the factory smoke, and city life

I'm sayin', "So long"

I've shed a lot of tears

Through all the years, that I've been gone

And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin'

I could go back home

I got a letter from mama and Mama asked me

If I'd come back home

She says, it sure is lonesome now

Since all of us kids, are all growed up and gone

I just can't hardly stand the thought

Of momma and daddy, being left there, all alone

That's really all I need to know

And now, I'm on the road back home

Back home, back home

Yes, I'm going back home

To the smog and smoke and city life

I'm sayin', (So long"

I've shed a lot of tears

Through all the years, that I've been gone

And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin'

I could go back home

Back home, back home

Yes, I'm going back home
