Oh take me back to my dear Mother's home
There's miles behind me, still miles to go
And there's nothing to say
Nothing to do
Nothing, no nothing
To keep me from you
Take me home
My soul is as worn as the soles of my shoes
Each night my heart breaks on the evening news
I get so tired
From running around
Comfort me, Mama
Let me lay down
Take me home
Hush now, Baby
Don't you cry
When you wake
Your Mama's standing by
Bye and bye
Sometimes at night when the world is asleep
I hear a cry from the dark and the deep
And I get so weary
Day after day
Comfort me, Mama,
Take me away
Take me home
Hush now, Baby
Don't you cry
When you wake
Your Mama's standing by
Bye and bye
Oh take me back to my dear Mother's home
I knew it once when the world was still young
And time don't slow down
Keeps moving along
I'm down on my knees, Mama,
Singing this song
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
