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 I wanna go back, I wanna go back I wanna go back to the farm Far away from harm With a milk pail on my arm I miss the rooster, the one that used to Wake me up at four a.m. I think a great big city's very pretty Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there A certain someone full of charm That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan Down on the farm I wanna go back, I wanna go back I wanna go back to the farm Far away from harm With a milk pail on my arm I miss the rooster, the one that used to Wake me up at four a.m. I think a great big city's very pretty Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there A certain someone full of charm That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan Down on the farm That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan Down on the farm
