I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge that I done wrong

Father kind and patient
As kind as he could be
He gave to me my fortune
That he has promised me
Father told his sermon
Bring the valley cats down
Pass it down to my gone child
He best come back home

Well I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge that I done wrong

I'll go back to my Father's
Fall down on my knees
Gotta do better than I do
Recognize me if you please
My father saw him a coming
The men in there, then he cried
Gonna bring home again now
This is my darling child

I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge that I done wrong

Father kind and patient
As kind as he could be
He gave to me my fortune
That he has promised me

I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home,
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge that I done wrong
