Journey My Baby Back Home

(Hank Snow)



Pale moon start on your journey

I'm pleading to you.

Somewhere you'll find a broken heart

Yearning too.



Bright stars were shining but clouds drifted by

Just to darken a true love affair

And I know I'm to blame for the showers that fell

They meant more than my old pal could bear.



I can't see what happened why I went astray

But I promise I'll never more roam

So pale moon I've made you promise

So journey my baby back home.



Pale moon start on your journey

I'm pleading to you

Somewhere you'll find a broken heart

Yearning too.



They say that a new day is born when the sun

Climbs the stairs to the heaven so blue

But to me only one day is born ev'ry year

Since I've cheated and been so un true.



I'm weary, I'm heart-sick, I've worried I've cried

Down your long silver trail starts to roam

So pale moon I've made you promise

So journey my baby back home...
