Going Home

I worked in the fields
 Most all my life
 But one day I decided to leave
 I went to New York City
 The things I saw
 The folks back home
 They wouldn't believe.
 I saw them long-legged women
 Looked like skin and bone
 Dresses so short
 They barely had one on.
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
 Big enough to keep me warm.
 Standin' on corners
 Watching all them cars
 Lawd they looked like limousines
 I heard one say
 He had a chick in his car
 That was so hard to believe
 I couldn't get myself together
 No matter how I tried
 The women there are too little
 To take for a ride
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
 Big enough to keep me warm.
 I cuss the day
 I caught that train
 That's taken me away from home
 I left a fine young woman
 Spent all my money
 On nothing but skin and bones
 Well I hope it's not too late
 'Cause I'm goin' back
 I just found out where all the meat is at
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 I'm goin' home
 Where women got some meat on their bones
 'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
 Big enough to keep me warm.
 Hahaha
 I'm goin' back, where all the meat is at
 Hahaha
 Think I'll go back down to Arkansas, Tennessee,
 Louisiana, you name it
 All them girls down there got some meat on their bones
 I'm ready to go back to Little Rock, Arkansas.
 I'm sure all the girls
 down there got some meat on their bones.
