Go Home Lyrics - Merle Haggard

In old Padres Nadres Old Mexico 

Once in my travel I happened to go 

I met Maria and we fell in love 

It seemed like heaven came down from above 

Dark skin and dark eyes and dark wavy hair 

All kept me spellbound as love filled the air 

I held her tightly then to my surpise 

She whispered soft words with tears in her eyes 

Go home go home your people would not understand 

Go home go home go back to your own homeland 

With gentle persuasion I changed her mind 

I said they'd love her and treat her so kind 

So we went together to my old hometown 

I wanted to show my old friends what I'd found 

But hate made my sweet dream a nightmare 

One day I came home and she was not there 

A note on the table tore my world apart 

My old friends has been there and told my sweetheart 

Go home go home your place is not with this man 

Go home go home go back to your own homeland
