Ah... oh! Yeah... oh!
Verse 1:
Yes, I'm going to my home town,
Sorry babe I can't take you.
Yes, I'm going to my home town,
Sorry honey, but I can't take you.
Only got one ticket, Good Lord ...I just can't afford two.
Take me home...
Verse 2:
Yeah, the day I left,
You know I had shoes upon my feet.
The day I left,
I had shoes upon my feet.
Get home again honey,
Don't even 'got enough to eat.
(Lead Solo 1)
Lay it on my honey!...
(Bass Solo)
OK... do another one...
Verse 3:
Going to my home town,
I'm leaving on the midnight train,
Going to my home town,
I'm leaving on the midnight train,
Got to keep on rolling honey,
Won't be back again.
Verse 4:
Yes I'm going to my home town, going to my home town,
going to my home town, going to my home town,
Do you wanna go, Do you wanna go,
Do you wanna go, Do you wanna go.
Does your mother, know? Alright, ...alright!
Verse 5:
Going to my home town,
I'm leaving right away,
Going to my home town, ...darling.
'Leaving right away,
Got to keep on trucking honey,
Your plan won't make me stay.
Bye-bye little girl, Bye-bye!
... ... ... ...
Ah, ah... oh-oh-oh-oh-ah!

NOTES:
* = Octave Chords (12th fret = Nut).
1. Do warm-up your fingers and the strings before trying these chords, as the positions
the tempo, are very demanding.
2. My next step, ...is to get a mandolin to learn and try this tune upon. I'm sure that
will result in a different interpretation.
3. When I'm duly inspired I'll follow-up with the 'finger picking' notation.
4. As there is a dearth of information about this tune, I'd appreciate your comments and
corrections.
