Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Hang Your Head lyrics

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
