| When I was just a boy
|
| The devil took my hand
|
| Took me from my home
|
| He made me a man
|
| So, don’t talk to me about sympathy now
|
| Cause you can’t dance if you
|
| Take a chance on your rosary
|
| I’m going down, down, down, down, down
|
| On the homebound train
|
| It’s been a millions years
|
| That I been gone
|
| I been everywhere, now I’m heading home
|
| Been a lot of girls, but
|
| There’s a woman I know
|
| Said don’t take no plane
|
| Better take a train
|
| Cause I like it real slow
|
| All the way back home
|
| On the homebound train
|
| I’m going down, down, down, down, down
|
| On the homebound train
|
| Solo
|
| I’m on my way
|
| I’m heading home
|
| To be with my baby
|
| Where I belong
|
| Coming down the tracks now
|
| See, I done my time
|
| I’m going back now
|
| To that home of mine
|
| Well, here I come baby
|
| Here I come baby
|
| Here I come baby
|
| All the way back home
|
| On that homebound train
|
| I’m going down, down, down, down, down
|
| On that homebound train |
