home

I had a horse

I had a horse

I had a horse

We went riding into town

We stayed on course

We stayed on course

I stayed on course

But then I went tumbling down

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home

I dare not go

We took a trip

We took a trip

We took a trip

To see the blue pear trees

Don’t know what it is

What it is

Oh what is it that makes you love me?

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Round and round I go

Where I stop nobody knows

But it won’t be home

No it can’t be home

No it won’t be home

I can’t go home

Home is a place to rest your head and eat a meal

Home is a place where love is what you’re s’posed to feel

Home is a place where you can always be yourself

Home is a place to share the wealth

Home is a place where a person’s supposed to smile

Home is a place to hunker down for a while

Home is a place for a parent and a child

A loving marriage and a temper mild

Down down down down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow long as day

Back to a home where I never laugh or play

I dare not go if you’re giving me a say
