CHORUS
|
Sister, soak the beans
|
I'll be comin Home to Chop the Onion
|
Mama, light the stove
|
It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done
|
I'll be comin' home
|
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
|
Can't you hear me moan?
|
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
|
|
Workin' on the run
|
Burnin' cactus down on the Rio Grande
|
No shade from the sun
|
Just wishin' I'd get done with shovelin' sand
|
|
Repeat CHORUS
|
|
I been gone so long
|
Callin' cattle on the Goodnight Lovin' Line
|
Can't you hear my song
|
The canteen's dry as the dust that's in my eyes
|
|
Repeat CHORUS
|
|
Last time I got stuck
|
In a Yankee city up above the Dixon Line
|
I run plum out of luck
|
Not an inch of enchalada could I find
|
|
I'll be comin' home
|
I've had enough, I'm done with self-denial
|
No Peace can I find
|
Set the table, I'll be there in a while
|
