hey momma don't you cry for me
 
 I'm gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees
 
 oh yeah, but I'm coming home
 
  
  hey baby don't you weep tonight
 
 when I see them apples hangin' gonna take a bite
 
 oh yeah, but I'm coming home
  
 
 hey daddy don't you worry now
 
 I'm gonna make every little thing right somehow
 
 oh yeah, I'm coming home
  
 
 hey momma don't you cry no more
 
 you know that very soon now I'll be beyond the law
 
 oh yeah, I'm coming home
  
 
 hey child remember when I'm gone
 
 I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long
 
 oh yeah, I'm coming home
  
 
 hey boy you'd better get it right
 
 when you tie that rope you'd better fix it tight
 
 oh yeah, I'm coming home
  
 
 hey boys you remember me
 
 I rocked the ground. I shook the tree, but no more
 
 I'm coming home
  
 
 hey Jesus give a hand to me
 
 I'm a two-time sinner tryin' to make it three
 
 I'm about as bad as I can be, but I swear
 
 I'm coming home
 
 oh I'm coming home
