Mama’s in the kitchen baking up a pie
Daddy’s in the back yard “Get a job son,
You know you ought to try”
I packed up my bag headed down the road,
I got me a job from Henry Ford
But I made a mistake, I moved much to far
And know I know what the lonesome blues are…
I’m getting homesick, I’m getting blue
I need someone to talk to
I’m getting lonesome, I’m getting blue,
Let me tell you where I’m going to…
Yes I’m going to my hometown
I don’t care even if I have to walk
Yes I’m going to my hometown
I don’t care even if I have to walk
I got move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk
Yes I’m going to my hometown,
Sorry but I can’t take you..
Yes I’m going to my hometown
Sorry but I can’t take you
Only got one ticket,, you know I can’t afford two.
Take me home.
The day I left,
You know the rain was pooring down,
The day I left
You know the rain was pooring down
I’m going home again baby,
I believe the sun’s gonna come on out
Let’s go home, boy, let’s go home
Yes I’m going to my hometown
You know baby I gotta go
Going to my hometown
You know I just have to go.
I really love you woman
I’ll see you in a year,, maybe no, maybe yes.
Going to my hometown
I’m going to my hometown
Going to my hometown,
Going to my hometown
Going to my hometown
