Let me get in here and get me a ticket
Say man, look here, is this the Down Home Special?
(Yes!)
Well, gimme a ticket then, man
(What ticket, man?)
A ticket to McComb, Mississippi
(McComb?)
Yeah, McCom
(I thought you was goin' to Appaloosa)
Ha, ha, ha, Yeah, I'm goin' to Appaloosa, alright
The train goin' through there but I ain't gettin' off!
Sings:
I'm goin' home to see my babe, fair
I'm goin' home, see my baby
I'm goin' home, see my baby
And I don't, doggone, mean maybe
Been workin' like I never did before
Just made a lot of money
To get to my baby's door
Been through Appaloosa
Been to Tennessee
Been up in a airplane
Even out on the sea
I can't find a woman
To satis-satisfy me
Got a woman in the country
One in the city, too
I have got to find a woman
That thrill me through and through
I'm goin' home, see my baby
I'm goin' home to see my baby
I'm goin' home to see my baby
And I don't, don't, mean maybe
(McComb!)
Travel two days
And two nights long
Snow, storm, rainy weather
Get back in yo' arms
I'm goin' home to see my baby
I'm goin' home to see my baby
(All arrive for McComb!)
(McComb!)
FADES-
(All arrive for McComb)
