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
