Til He Comes Back Home

from Homesteading by Jim & Dee

lyrics

My father was a Yankee from the north
And my mother was a southern belle
It’s a good thing the war was over by then
They didn’t get along so well

But I could always get my own way
Just as long as he was gone
She’d say, “It,s alright
‘Til he comes back home.”

I finally got out on my own
Learned of fending for myself
And I took care of number one
You know I did it very well

The men would come
And the men would go
It seemed alright to me
I’d say, “It’s alright
‘Til he comes back home

But I didn’t think
Of the God I’d hurt
Or all the tears He shed
Over me

And I didn’t care
About the blood that flowed
When He died alone
On the tree

Now I’m walking down the road
To life eternally
I look upon the former things
It doesn’t even seem like me

It’s funny how a girl can change
But all my friends agree
And so I’m waiting for
My Lord’s return

And when He does you know He’s gonna
Take Me home
I’m sitting here waiting ‘til you take me home
Jesus, come on, come on take me home
