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, I'd come back home

She says it sure is lonesome now

Since all of us kids are all growned up and gone



I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of

Momma and daddy being left there all alone

That's really all I need to know

Now I'm on the road back home



Back home, back home, yes, I'm going back home

To the smog an' 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
