                         A
I'm goin' back to whur I come from
                                         D                   A
Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet it durn near makes you sick
          D                 A
I used to think my life was humdrum
                                         D     A  D
But I sure have learned a lesson that is bound to stick
               G            D
There ain't no use of me pretendin'
    E7                             A
The city sure ain't no place for a guy like me to end in
      D              A
Goin' back to whur I come from

Verse 2:
          D              A
I used to go down to the station
                                        D                  A
Every evenin' just to watch the Pullman train come rollin' in
             D                     A
And then one night, that great temptation
                                     D    A  D
Got the best of me and drove me to a life of sin
          G                D
I took my hat and fourteen dollars
      E7                                    A
And I went through all the troubles of this life that always follers
            D                A
When you're rich and huntin' romance
                                    D    A   D
But my huntin' days are over, I can tell you that

Verse 3:
        D             A
I met a man in Kansas City
                                        D             A
An' he winked at me and asked me if I'd like to step around
             D                    A
And I said, "Yup! that's what I'm here fer"
                                        D     A  D
And he said he'd take me to the hottest spots in town
             G                   D
He mentioned things he'd have to fix up
      E7                                  A
So he took my fourteen dollars, but there must have been a mix-up
          D                   A
He's been gone since Thursday evenin'
                                         D   A  D
And I've got a hunch I'll never see that guy no more

Verse 3:
           D              A
When I get old and have a grandson
                                         D                  A
I can tell him 'bout my romance and then watch his eyes bug out
            D              A
But chances are he won't believe me
                                                 D   A  D
So he'll do the same darn thing when he's growed up, no doubt
             G            D
But he can't say I didn't warn him
          E7                              A
What will happen if he meets up with that city guy, goldarn him
          D              A
I'm goin' back to whur I come from
                                        D A   D
Whur the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
