Goin' To My Hometown (with Lonnie Donegan) Lyrics - Wheels Within Wheels - Rory Gallagher

Mama's in the kitchen bakin' up a pie 

Daddy's in the backyard 

Get a job, son 

You know you ought to try 

I packed up my bag, I headed down the road 

I got me a job from Henry Ford 

But I made a mistake, I moved much too far 

And now I know what the lonesome blues are 

I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue 

I need someone to talk to 

I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue 

Now let me tell you, now let me tell you 

Now let me tell you, now let me tell you 

Now let me tell you where I'm going to 

Yes I'm goin' to my hometown 

Sorry baby, I can't take it all 

Well, I'm goin to my hometown 

Sorry baby, I can't take it all 

I have to walk 

Only got one ticket 

Good God I can't afford two 

The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet 

The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet 

Got home again, honey 

Don't even have nothin' to eat, oh yeah 

Hey, goin' to my hometown, yeah 

Yeah, and I don't care, have to walk 

Yeah, goin' to my hometown 

And I don't care, have to walk 

I gotta move down, baby 

No more time to talk, no, no, no 

Yeah, I'm goin' to my hometown 

And I'm leaving on the midnight train, yeah 

Goin' to my hometown, baby 

I'm leaving on the midnight train 

Gotta keep on ramblin', yeah 

Goe back to from where I came 

I'm goin to my hometown 

Goin' to my hometown 

Goin' to my hometown 

Goin' to my hometown 

Do you wanna go? 

Do you wanna go? 

Do you wanna go? 

Do you wanna go? 

I got up against this 

The cats and strangers walkin' 

Is much to slow, yeah
