I'm goin' back to whur I come from
Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet it durn near makes you sick
I used to think my life was humdrum
But I sure have learned a lesson that is bound to stick
There ain't no use of me pretendin'
The city sure ain't no place for a guy like me to end in
Goin' back to whur I come from
Whur the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
I used to go down to the station
Every evenin' just to watch the Pullman train come rollin' in
And then one night, that great temptation
Got the best of me and drove me to a life of sin
I took my hat and fourteen dollars
And I went through all the troubles of this life that always follers
When you're rich and huntin' romance
But my huntin' days are over, I can tell you that
I met a man in Kansas City
An' he winked at me and asked me if I'd like to step around
And I said, "Yup! that's what I'm here fer"
And he said he'd take me to the hottest spots in town
He mentioned things he'd have to fix up
So he took my fourteen dollars, but there must have been a mix-up
He's been gone since Thursday evenin'
And I've got a hunch I'll never see that guy no more
When I get old and have a grandson
I can tell him 'bout my romance and then watch his eyes bug out
But chances are he won't believe me
So he'll do the same darn thing when he's growed up, no doubt
But he can't say I didn't warn him
What will happen if he meets up with that city guy, goldarn him
I'm goin' back to whur I come from
Whur the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
