I believe I'll go back home

Invite friends and relatives
My son's come home at last
Said this is my wandering child
I believe I'll go back home
There they have food to eat

And I'm a-starving here
Acknowledge, I done wrong
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge, I done wrong

I made a mistake and I did run

Father said to his servant
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I'm dissatisfied
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home

I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge, I done wrong
I believe I'll go back home
I'll go back my father's house
I'll go back my father's house
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge, I done wrong
I believe I'll go back home
He met him with a smile

Acknowledge, I done wrong
The place I love so dear
Threw his arms around him
Say that I'm unworthy
Father saw him coming
And see concern its place
I'll fall down on my face

Go kill the fattest cow
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
