Come Along Home

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

Last night I heard a sweet voice callin',
"Come along, won't you come along home."
Wind on the river and the calves all bawlin',
"Come along, won't you come along home."

[Cho:]
Come along, won't you come along home now.
Night is fallin' and the path is steep.
Come along, won't you come along home now.
Water's runnin' and the river is deep.

Wind goes "Whoosh!" And the trees are sighin',
"Come along, won't you come along home now."
Somebody's born and somebody's dyin'.
"Come along, won't you come along home now."

[Cho:]

Every night the voice gets bolder.,
"Come along, won't you come along home now."
Song gets sweeter as I grow older,
"Come along, won't you come along home now."

[Cho:]
