(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
