BOOMERS’ BLUES
Hey, hey, the rain won’t stop, been waitin for days to get the crop
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, to see his face, to feel his warmth and sweet embrace
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, the pain won’t stop, my shoulders are tired, my spirit shot
We labor and chore, hobbled and sore - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, to see his face, to feel his warmth and sweet embrace
Labored the chore, hobbled and sore - now it’s time to go home
Went a long time now we (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to see my reward (went a long time now)
Heaven gonna hear my plea (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to meet my Lord
Hey, hey, to see the light, to never have another dog in the fight
My trial’s run, my day is done - now I want to go home
Went a long time now we (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to see my reward (went a long time now)
Heaven gonna hear my plea (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to meet my Lord
Hey, hey, the rain won’t stop, been waitin for days to get the crop
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
The time has come, been growing near, the end of all my troubles here
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm, now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, the rain won’t stop, been waitin for days to get the crop
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, to see his face, to feel his warmth and sweet embrace
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, the pain won’t stop, my shoulders are tired, my spirit shot
We labor and chore, hobbled and sore - now it’s time to go home
Hey, hey, to see his face, to feel his warmth and sweet embrace
Labored the chore, hobbled and sore - now it’s time to go home
Went a long time now we (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to see my reward (went a long time now)
Heaven gonna hear my plea (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to meet my Lord
Hey, hey, to see the light, to never have another dog in the fight
My trial’s run, my day is done - now I want to go home
Went a long time now we (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to see my reward (went a long time now)
Heaven gonna hear my plea (went a long time now)
Gonna bring me home to meet my Lord
Hey, hey, the rain won’t stop, been waitin for days to get the crop
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm - now it’s time to go home
The time has come, been growing near, the end of all my troubles here
Cold, forlorn we weather the storm, now it’s time to go home
