Words and music by jimmy nail



Hey momma don't you cry for me

I'm gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees

Oh yeah, but i'm coming home



Hey baby don't you weep tonight

When i see them apples hangin' gonna take a bite

Oh yeah, but i'm coming home



Hey daddy don't you worry now

I'm gonna make every little thing right somehow

Oh yeah, i'm coming home



Hey momma don't you cry no more

You know that very soon now i'll be beyond the law

Oh yeah, i'm coming home



Hey child remember when i'm gone

I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long

Oh yeah, i'm coming home



Hey boy you'd better get it right

When you tie that rope you'd better fix it tight

Oh yeah, i'm coming home



Hey boys you remember me

I rocked the ground. i shook the tree, but no more

I'm coming home



Hey jesus give a hand to me

I'm a two-time sinner tryin' to make it three

I'm about as bad as i can be, but i swear

I'm coming home

Oh i'm coming home
