home - the anita kerr singers lyrics
[verse 1]
i’ve been a traveler most of my life
never took a home, never became a wife
ran away young and decided to roam
and i wanted to see my mama and my daddy back home
[chorus]
i wanna go back home, where the river runs cold
the water tastes good, the winters ain’t cold
home, where the trees grow tall
the home fires burn, and the whipporwills call
[verse 2]
i remember stories that my pappy used to tell
my eyes would get big, and his chest would really swell
i could sit for hours and listen with joy
as he’d tell what he did when he was just a young boy
[chorus]
i wanna go back home, where the river runs cold
the water tastes good, the winters ain’t cold
home, where the trees grow tall
the home fires burn, and the whipporwills call
[verse 3]
mama dear, mama do you still love your child?
after my roamin’ can i still make you smile?
mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
it said to “come home, i’m a*missin’ you so”
[chorus]
i wanna go back home, where the river runs cold
the water tastes good, the winters ain’t cold
home, where the trees grow tall
the home fires burn, and the whipporwills call
[outro]
home, where the river runs cold
the water tastes good, the winters ain’t cold
home, where the trees grow tall
the home fires burn, and the whipporwills call
