I Want To Go Back To Michigan

I Want To Go Back To Michigan

I was born in Michigan
And I wish and wish again
That I was back in the town where I was born
There's a farm in Michigan
And I'd like to fish again
In the river that flows beside the fields of waving corn

A lonesome soul am I
And here's the reason why

I want to go back, I want to go back
I want to go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to
Wake me up at four a.m
I think your great big city's very pretty
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

You can keep your cabarets
Where they turn nights into days
I'd rather be where they go to bed at nine
Now I've been gone for seven weeks
And I've lost my rosy cheeks
That's the reason I'd rather have the country life for mine

My thoughts are far away
And that's just why I say

I want to go back, I want to go back
I want to go back to the farm
Far away from harm
With a milk pail on my arm
I miss the rooster, the one that used to
Wake me up at four a.m
I think your great big city's very pretty
Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there
A certain someone full of charm
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan
Down on the farm

Down on the farm
