I’ll be alright in the morning When I get myself back home I been gone such a long long time Gettin’ weary bein’ on my own
I just got to get myself back home Back to the place I know I once belonged
Well I been workin’, I’m a river man Drivin’ down the mighty river bed An’ after thirty-six days on a [?] barge You know a body gets in need of a friend
I just got to get myself back home Back to the place I know I once belonged
My body’s achin’ and the sun’s on my back And the captain’s really bringing me down My woman, she wrote, said she needs me tonight And I’m hopin’ we won’t be long
Well I just got to get myself back home, back home You know I got to get back to the place I once belonged
Hey I’ve got to get back I just got to get myself back home Back to the place I know I once belonged I know I once belonged I just got to get myself back home I wanna get home Back to the place I know I once belonged
