Lyrics

作词 : James Taylor
作曲 : James Taylor
Now you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at me
It's plain as rain that you've never been down to the Southern sea
To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
I only wish you could see me down in the islands
Mister, that's my home
What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known
You see me coming, you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
And when I don't do nothing but to walk on by
You say babe, get a load of him
All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
Instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man
You'll never understand
Up here I'm just a whisky bum but down there I'm a king
Sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing
Welcome home, welcome home
(Let me hear it) Such a sight to see
Instead of some Salvation Army sister
Singing "Nearer My God To Thee"
Now I know that Yankee whisky has taken away my mind
And I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind
And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong
I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long
I can feel that it's coming on strong
The first cold wind of winter is flapping in my clothes
Showing me the way with the direction that it blows
Welcome home, welcome home
Let it blow, welcome home
Welcome home, welcome home
It's such a sight to see
Instead of some Salvation Army sister
Singing "Nearer My God To Thee"
Let me hear it oh yeah
Welcome home, welcome home
Welcome home mmh yeah
Welcome home, welcome home
