Ferlin Husky "Don't It Make You Want to Go Home" |
(Joe South) Don't it make you wanna go home Now don't it make you wanna go home All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home Don't it make you wanna go home? Oh, the whippoorwills roost on the telephone poles The Georgia sun goes down It's been a long time but I'm glad to say that I'm Goin' back down to my hometown. Goin' down to the greyhound station Gonna buy me a oneway fare If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise Tomorrow I will be right there. Don't it make you wanna go home now Now don't it make you wanna go home All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home Don't it make you wanna go home? --- Instrumental --- There's a six lane highway down by the creek Where I went skinny dippin' as a child And the drive-in show where the meadow used to grow And the strawberries used to grow wild. There's a dragstrip down by the riverside Where my grandma's cow used to graze Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow Like it did in my childhood days. Don't it make you wanna go home now Now don't it make you wanna go home All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't it make you wanna go home now Now don't it make you wanna go home All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't it make you wanna go home now Now don't it make you wanna go home All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home Don't it make you wanna go home?...
