when you get home
when you get home son don’t you tarry don’t you tarry
young men like you should marry when you get home

when you get home
I’ll be waiting in my chair
with the candle burning there when you get home

when you get home
the fences need some mending and the cattle need some tending
when you get home

when you get home
your mom she sighs so there with her knitting in her chair
when you get home

when you get home
the politicians oh the fools keeping young men out of schools
for old men in their suits
when you get home

when you get home
when you get home son don’t you tarry don’t you tarry
young men like you should marry when you get home
when you get home
when you get home
