From the recording Take Me Back To The Country
Lyrics
TAKE ME BACK TO THE COUNTRY (Walsh)
Take me back to the country
Momma I want to go home
This city ain’t no livin’
It’s a long long way to go
Hear that train come down the track
Out behind the sugar shack
Bessie Sue with her dress up high
Just before we said goodbye
You could be my lover
You could be my bride
Meet me at the river
On the other side
Momma’s little birdie
Squeek and squak all night
Out there in the old front parlor
Momma that just ain’t right
Take me back to the country
Momma I want to go home
This city ain’t no livin’
It’s a long long way to go
Take me back to the country
Momma I want to go home
This city ain’t no livin’
It’s a long long way to go
