Come On Home Boy Lyrics - Singles - 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 missin' you 

We caught him a train up in Frisco headin' back to Tennessee 

Thinking of the mom and daddy that used to rock him on 'em 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 kinda let us down 

Won't you come on home boy... 

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 come on home boy) 

Your mama's mighty blue from missin' you
