Down Home

Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]

(Rudy Clark)



(Way down home, way down home.)



I got to pack and go going back where I come from

And folks I really know

Where the roosters crow in the morning

And you'll wake up with a song

Down home, way down home.



I got to say goodbye

How I miss the taste of Grandma's sweet potato pie

And the pretty girls come in bunches

And they never treat you wrong

Down home, way down home.



Watermelon costs but a dime

And the fish down by the river, they jump they jump on your line.



I got to go you see

City life can never take the country out of me

So I'm going back where I come from

And I never gonna roam

From home, way down home.



(Watermelon costs but a dime)

And the fish down by the river, ooh, jump on your line.



I got to go you see

Anyone who asks for me tell them I have gone back home

Gonna fall back with that living and I'm never gonna roam

From home, way down home.



Down home, way down home, down home, way down home...
