When I was just a boy The devil took my hand Took me from my home He made me a man So, don’t talk to me about sympathy now Cause you can’t dance if you Take a chance on your rosary I’m going down, down, down, down, down On the homebound train It’s been a millions years That I been gone I been everywhere, now I’m heading home Been a lot of girls, but There’s a woman I know Said don’t take no plane Better take a train Cause I like it real slow All the way back home On the homebound train I’m going down, down, down, down, down On the homebound train Solo I’m on my way I’m heading home To be with my baby Where I belong Coming down the tracks now See, I done my time I’m going back now To that home of mine Well, here I come baby Here I come baby Here I come baby All the way back home On that homebound train I’m going down, down, down, down, down On that homebound train
