He got a letter saying guess you don't remember me   But I'm the girl that you courted before you ran away to sea   You never even wrote a letter even to your mom and dad   Now it's too late to write your daddy and your mama's feeling mighty bad   Won't you come on home boy come on home boy   Your mama's all alone since your dad's been gone   Well come on home boy come on home boy   Your mama's mighty blue from missing you      Well he caught him a train up in Frisco headin' back to Tennessee   Thinking of a mom and daddy that used to rock him on their knees   No more fishing in the creek with daddy no huntin' when the leaves turn brown   Every turn of the wheel seemed to tell him son you gone and let us down   Won't you come on home boy...   [ ac.guitar - steel ]   He walked up to the cabin as it was gettin' dark   So blue by the doorstep wondered why he didn't bark   He called but nobody answered he looked around and then he cried   Underneath the weeping willow were two crosses side by side   Won't you come on home boy...   Yeah your mama's mighty blue from missing you
