I'm comin' home baby,
Darlin' I ain't doin' no good out there
I'm comin' home now darling,
I ain't doin' no good out there
I know it don't make you much difference,
But I want you to feel my care
You didn't tell me to leave,
Baby, I just left on my own
You didn't tell me to leave,
Little girl, I just left on my own
That's the reason I want you to make me welcome,
Look out, I'm comin' home
Did you get my letter,
Tell you I'd be home before long?
Did you get my letter,
Tell you I'd be home before long?
Well, it don't make no difference if you didn't get it,
Look out, po' Lightnin' comin' home
