I Want To Go Back To Michigan



[Verse 1]:
 * 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,
 * Here's the reason why:

[Chorus (sung twice)]:
 * 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 who use-ter
 * Wake me up at four A.M.
 * I think your great big city's very pretty, nevertheless –
 * I want to be there,
 * I want to see there
 * A certain some one full of charm;
 * That's why I wish again,
 * That I was in Michigan,
 * Down on the farm.

[Verse 2]:
 * You can have your cabarets,
 * Where they turn nights into days,
 * I'd rather be where they go to bed at nine;
 * I have been here 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,
 * That's just why I say:

[Chorus (sung twice)]:
 * 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 who use-ter
 * Wake me up at four A.M.
 * I think your great big city's very pretty, nevertheless –
 * I want to be there,
 * I want to see there
 * A certain some one full of charm;
 * That's why I wish again,
 * That I was in Michigan,
 * Down on the farm.
