Lyrics
- Rain pouring down all over town
Even the skies above cries
“Your Love has gone and thrown you down”
Folks love to talk, Oh! how they talk
I didn’t miss a word, this I heard
Your sweetie’s thrown you down
Their tongues are waggin’ waggin’
Oh! Daddy, Oh! Daddy
Don’t let that talk go ’round
Their tongues are braggin’ braggin’
Oh! Daddy, Oh! Daddy
Before I’m river bound, I’m screamin’
Chorus
Come on home, come on home
Home ain’t Home when I’m there alone
The sun can never keep my heart from painin’
Imagine how I feel when it starts rainin’
And I ain’t gettin’ the live and pettin’
You sweet kisses I’m regrettin’
Come on home, come on home
Home ain’t Home without you my own
You know I’ve got the coal in for the winter
I even got the stove the coal goes inter
But I’ll be freezin’ without your squeezin’
Come on home
- Summer is gone, winter is on
Even the wind that blows kind o’ knows
That you have siad “Goodbye”
Shadows that prowl, mumble and howl
Why did you let him roam, pet him home
Don’t let him say “Goodbye”
My heart am thumpin’ thumpin’
Oh! Daddy, Oh! Daddy
I’m telling you no lie
My heart am jumpin’ jumpin’
Oh! Daddy, Oh! Daddy
You know the reason why, I’m screamin’
