Don't It Make You Want To Go Home

Don't it make you want to go home, now? Don't it make you want to go home? All God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you want to go home? There's a sicklebill roost On a telephone pole When the Georgia sun goes down Well, it's been a long time But I'm glad to say that I'm Going back to my hometown Going down to the Greyhound station Gonna buy me a one-way fare If the good Lord's willin' And the creek don't rise By tomorrow, I'll be right there Don't it make you want to go home, now? Don't it make you want to go home? All God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you want to go home? (Little turnaround) (Scatting) There's a six-lane highway down by the creek Where I went skinny-dipping as a child And a drive-in show Where the river used to flow And the strawberries used to grow wild There's a drag-strip down by the riverside Where my grandma's cow used to graze Now the grass don't grow And the rivers don't flow Like it did in my childhood days Don't it make you want to go home, now? Don't it make you want to go home? All God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you want to go home? (Kids, sing) Don't it make you want to go home, now? Don't it make you want to go home? All God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you want to go home? Don't it make you want to go home?
