Oh, my soul craves to go home   To long island shores again   Take me back to old north pole   To breathe in the harbor wind      I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane   Sunday gone to my family reunion      There my father preached at the church   On the corner of Old Nickels Road   He raised four children in a green house   We are all well and now we're all grown      I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane   Sunday gone to my family reunion      There my mother Sharron lies deep   In the earth of the long island shores   I will visit her grave   And plant yellow roses at her stone      I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane   Sunday gone to my family reunion      I'll be leaving   Gone to my family reunion      Oh, my soul craves to go home
