Dean Martin
"Down Home"

(Rudy Clark)

(Way down home, way down home.)

I got to pack and go going back where I come from
And folks I really know
Where the roosters crow in the morning
And you'll wake up with a song
Down home, way down home.

I got to say goodbye
How I miss the taste of Grandma's sweet potato pie
And the pretty girls come in bunches
And they never treat you wrong
Down home, way down home.

Watermelon costs but a dime
And the fish down by the river, they jump they jump on your line.

I got to go you see
City life can never take the country out of me
So I'm going back where I come from
And I never gonna roam
From home, way down home.

(Watermelon costs but a dime)
And the fish down by the river, ooh, jump on your line.

I got to go you see
Anyone who asks for me tell them I have gone back home
Gonna fall back with that living and I'm never gonna roam
From home, way down home.

Down home, way down home, down home, way down home...
