Going to My Hometown Songtext
von Rory Gallagher

Mama′s in the kitchen baking up a pie
Daddy's in the backyard
"Get a job, son, you know you ougtta try"
So I packed my bag and headed down the road
I got me a job from Henry Ford
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far
Now I know what the lonesome blues are

I′m gettin' lonesome, I'm gettin′ blue
I need someone to talk to
I′m gettin' lonesome, I′m gettin' blue
Now let me tell you where
Now let me tell you where
Now let me tell you where I′m going to
Yeah
Aah!


Yes I'm goin′ to my hometown
Sorry baby but I can't take you, alright
Yes I'm goin′ to my hometown
Sorry baby but I can′t take you
Only got one ticket
God Lord, I can't afford two

Yes sir, the day I left
I had shoes upon my feet
Yes sir, the day I left
I had shoes upon my feet
I′m goin' gome again, baby

Whoa!

The day I left
You know, the rain was pourin′ down
The day I left
I swear, the rain was pourin' down
I′m goin' home, baby
I think the sun is gonna come on out

Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ah, alright
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo

Well, I'm goin′ to my hometown
I′m goin' to my hometown
I′m goin' to my hometown
I′m goin' to my hometown


Do you wanna go? (yeah!)
Do you wanna go? (yeah!)
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Ah!

Alright, goin′ to my hometown
And I'm leavin' right away
Goin′ to my hometown
And I′m leavin' right away
Gotta keep on movin′, honey
And your crown won't make me stay
Alright, baby, alright, ah!

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
