Goin' Home

Well, I went back to see my baby
That I left many years ago
Yes, I went back to see my baby
That I left many years ago
I didn't think I was welcome
So I throw my hat in the door

She said, "Come on in, baby
You as welcome as the flowers in May
Come on in, lover
You as welcome as the flowers in May
And I pray to the good Lord
This time you're home to stay"

Yeah, Mr. Blues, do the thing!

Well, the same thing happened to you
Big Joe Turner, the same thing happened to me
Well, the same thing happened to you, Joe
Yes, the same thing happened to me
That's why I got the blues this mornin'
Yes, and just as drunk as I can be

When I left my baby
She loved me and told me "Don't stop"
She loved me so good
I almost blowed my top
But I can't go back home
Yes, I can't go back home not to stay
'Cause my baby said she didn't want me
Yes, not until her dyin' day
And I hope she live a long time

Same thing happened to me!
