[Verse 1]
Back home you'll see
Those ruby berries shine
Tip your head back
Drink that summer wine

[Chorus]
Sister, brother
Tell Dad and Mom
Not to worry, it won't be too long
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

[Verse 2]
Back home you'll hear
No ring of no telephone
Just put your feet up
Make yourself at home

[Chorus]
Sister, brother
Tell Dad and Mom
Not to worry, it won't be too long
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
[Bridge]
Oh, and I'm leavin' the city
This time it's for good
Oooh, and my baby's so pretty
If you like her, like her, like her
I'll stay for good

[Chorus]
Sister, brother
Tell Dad and Mom
Not to worry, it won't be too long
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

[Verse 3]
Back home you'll feel
That country feel all the time
And when that cock crows
You'll really want to rise and shine

[Chorus]
Sister, brother
Tell Dad and Mom
Not to worry, it won't be too long
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
