Mama's in the kitchen baking up a pie

Daddy's in the back yard "Get a job son,

You know you ought to try"

I packed up my bag headed down the road,

I got me a job from Henry Ford

But I made a mistake, I moved much to far

And know I know what the lonesome blues are...

I'm getting homesick, I'm getting blue

I need someone to talk to

I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue,

Let me tell you where I'm going to...



Yes I'm going to my hometown

I don't care even if I have to walk

Yes I'm going to my hometown

I don't care even if I have to walk

I got move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk



Yes I'm going to my hometown,

Sorry but I can't take you..

Yes I'm going to my hometown

Sorry but I can't take you

Only got one ticket,, you know I can't afford two.

Take me home.



The day I left,

You know the rain was pooring down,

The day I left

You know the rain was pooring down

I'm going home again baby,

I believe the sun's gonna come on out

Let's go home, boy, let's go home



Yes I'm going to my hometown

You know baby I gotta go

Going to my hometown

You know I just have to go.

I really love you woman

I'll see you in a year,, maybe no, maybe yes.



Going to my hometown

I'm going to my hometown

Going to my hometown,

Going to my hometown

Going to my hometown
