| I remember the day | |
| I caught the train | |
| I was standin’ out at the rail road crossing soakin’ wet with rain | |
| Now I realized fortune and fame is not for me | |
| And all those pretty stories ain’t what they’re cooked up to be | |
| I know every move | |
| I made was wrong | |
| If I had any sense | |
| I’d go back home | |
| Yeah, my mother stood cryin’, my father had an achin’ heart | |
| He said, “ | |
| Girl, girl, please don’t let us part” | |
| My sweetheart stood cryin’ and | |
| I cried a little bit too | |
| But I didn’t have the will power to stop, | |
| I had to do what | |
| I had to do | |
| Now I realize every move | |
| I made was wrong | |
| If I had any sense | |
| I’d go back home | |
| My baby wrote me said“ | |
| Baby, baby, come back to your good man’s side"But I can’t go back now, I got too much prideI’m havin’ so much trouble I don’t know what to doThere’s nothin’ but my mother and father’s prayers that’s seein’ me throughI know I stayed away too longIf I had any sense I’d go back homeMy baby wrote me said“Baby, baby, Please come back to your good man’s side" | |
| But I can’t go back now, | |
| I got too much pride | |
| I’m havin’ so much trouble | |
| I don’t know what to do | |
| There’s nothin’ but my mother and father’s prayers that’s seein’ me through | |
| I know I stayed away too long | |
