[Verse]
D G D
It was after the war and I'd been gone so long
A A7
Momma and daddy were waitin' to meet the train
D G D
With smiles and tears they cried son how you've grown

And momma and daddy were waitin' to take me home

[Recitation]
G D
But fate has been unkind and somewhere I went astray
D A A7
And now in this lonely prison I'm down to my last day
D G D
For they'll strap me in that chair and I'll pay for all my wrongs
A7 D D
While my momma and daddy wait outside to take me home

[Chorus]
D G D
Take me home take me home
A A7
Oh Lord I've been gone for so long
