Let Me Come Home

Oh Mama,
my shoes don't fit,
and it's hard,
to keep this candle lit.

Mama,
my clothes are torn,
and I ain't got no blanket,
to keep me warm.

Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
I'm cold and I'm alone.

Oh Papa,
you taught me to be strong,
but Papa,
this world is wrong.

And Papa,
sorry for what I done,
and I know I ain't good enough,
to be your son.

Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
I'm cold and I'm alone.

My brother,
I know that I stole her,
But brother,
you did not own her.

And brother,
you were a friend of mine,
I thought you'd be with me,
on the firing line.

Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
I'm cold and I'm alone.

Oh, my sister,
graves stand still,
under the well and all,
I can't admit.

And my sister,
I go back to that place,
where we hid from our troubles,
and the whole human race.

Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
I've got flowers to bring.

Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
Let me come home . . .
I'm cold and I'm alone.
