To let you know that I was coming home

I've been gone so many years

You heard my record on the radio

And it'll be out on the market 'fore too long

I got this ring in Mexico

No, it didn't cost me quite a bunch
不 其实没花太多钱
When you're in the business that I'm in

The people call it puttin' up a front

If you didn't know me better, Dad

You'd think that I'd just gotten out of jail

No, we don't ever call them beer joints

When Momma passed away

I drove by the grave to see her

Boy, that really is a pretty stone

I'm glad that Fred and Jan are here

Who the lady is that's sleeping in the car

We worked in San Antone last night

She didn't even have the time to dress

And to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest

And by the way if you see Barbara Walker
对了 要是遇见芭芭拉·沃克
Tell her that I said, "Hello"
