Come On Home Boy

(Come on home boy come on home)



He got a letter saying guess you don't remember me



But I'm the girl that you courted before you run away to sea



You never even wrote a letter not even to your mom and dad



Now it's too late to write your daddy and your mama's feeling mighty bad



Won't you come on home boy come on home boy



Your mama's all alone since your daddy's gone



Well come on home boy come on home boy your mama's mighty blue from missin' you







We caught him a train up in Frisco headin' back to Tennessee



Thinking of the mom and daddy that used to rock him on 'em knees



No more fishing in the creek with daddy no huntin' when the leaves turn brown



Every turn of the wheel seemed to tell him son you kinda let us down



Won't you come on home boy...







He walked up to the cabin as it was gettin' dark



So blue by the doorstep wondered why he didn't bark



He called but nobody answered he looked around and then he cried



Underneath the weeping willow were two crosses side by side



Won't you come on home boy...



(Come on home boy come on home boy)



Your mama's mighty blue from missin' you
