Il testo della Come on home boy

He got a letter saying
"guess you don't remember me
But i'm the girl that you courted
Before you ran away to sea"

"you never even wrote a letter
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 dad's been gone
Well, come on home boy, come on home boy
Your mama's mighty blue from missing you

Well, he caught him a train up in frisco
Headin' back to tennessee
Thinking of a mom and daddy
That used to rock him on their 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 gone and let us down

Won't you come on home boy, come on home boy
Your mama's all alone since your dad's been 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 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
Your mama's all alone since your dad's been gone
Well, come on home boy, come on home boy
Yeah, your mama's mighty blue from missing you
