Come on Home Boy

Come On Home Boy - Harlan Howard

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 missing you

We caught him a train up in frisco heading

Back to tennessee

Thinking of the mom and daddy

That used to rock him on them knees

No more fishing in the creek with daddy

No hunting 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

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 missing you

He walked up to the cabin

As it was getting 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

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 missing you

Your mama's mighty blue from missing you
