let me come home

oh momma

my shoes don't fit

and it's hard to keep this candle lit

oh momma

my clothes are torn

and i ain't got 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

taught me to be strong

but papa

this world's gone wrong

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

and 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

your grave stands still

under the wall of high cannon hill

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 got flowers to bring
