[1st verse:]
|
I was born in Michigan
|
And I wish and wish again
|
That I was back in the town where I was born
|
There's a farm in Michigan
|
And I'd like to fish again
|
In the river that flows beside the fields of waving corn
|
A lonesome soul am I
|
Here's the reason why:
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I want to go back
|
I want to go back
|
I want to go back to the farm
|
Far away from harm
|
With a milk pail on my arm
|
I miss the rooster
|
The one who useter
|
Wake me up at four A.M.
|
I think your great big city's very pretty, nevertheless
|
I want to be there
|
I want to see there
|
A certain someone full of charm
|
That's why I wish again
|
That I was in Michigan
|
Down on the farm
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
You can keep your cabarets
|
Where they turn nights into days
|
I'd rather be where they go to bed at nine
|
I've been gone for seven weeks
|
And I've lost my rosy cheeks
|
That's the reason I'd rather have the country life for mine
|
My thoughts are far away
|
That's just why I say:
|
