Well I've been from Boston to LA seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
|
Into New York City and Washington
|
Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan and Rhode Island
|
And I've worked in three all night service stations and drove a truck
|
Take me home my heart is heavy and my feet are sore
|
Take me home I don't wanna roam no more
|
|
Well I slept all night in a water trough
|
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough
|
Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch
|
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold and sore throat
|
Not to mention all the times that I've cut my fingers on a sardine can
|
Take me home...
|
|
Well I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' round
|
Mama's supper table when the sun goes down
|
And my good old pappy when the blessing is said
|
Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas and side meat
|
And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's hot buttered cornbread
|
Take me home...
|
Take me home...
|
