Lyrics:
First verse
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
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 that useter Wake me up at four a.m. I think your great big city's very pretty, never-the-less 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. 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 that useter Wake me up at four a.m. I think your great big city's very pretty, never-the-less 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.
Second verse
You can keep your cabarets, Where they turn nights into days, I’d rather be where they go to bed at nine; I’ve been gone for 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)
