gee, ma, i wanna go home

Singer:parton, dolly

gee

ma

i wanna go

but they won't let me go

gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

the soldiers in the army

we know they're mighty fine

and the navy

air force and marines keep us all in line

but i don't want no more of this military life

gee

ma

i wanna go

but they won't let me go

gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

the viddles in the mess hall

they say they're mighty fine

but that she-ite on a shingle

why

i think i'll give you mine

oh

i don't want no more of this military life

gee

ma

i wanna go

but they won't let me go

gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

i wanna go back home

back where civilians roam

gee

ma

i wanna go home

well

now

i tried to join the army

they said my feet were flat

and since i can not see them

i'll take their word for that

oh gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

i wanna go back home

back where civilians roam

gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

the mother of all battles is what sadam had planned

well

he shoulda sent his mother 'cause his troops all turned and ran

oh

i don't want no more of this military life

gee

ma

i wanna go

but they won't let me go

gee

ma

i wanna go home

oh

i wanna go back home

back where civilians roam

where my rules are all my own

gee

ma

i wanna go home
