The Scottsboro Boys Cast - Go Back Home Lyrics

HAYWOOD
LYING ALL ALONE, I’M THINKIN’
STARING AT THE STARS, I WONDER
SINCE I BEEN AWAY, I’M LONELY
WHEN I’M GONNA GO BACK HOME
WALKING THROUGH THE WORLD, THINGS HAPPEN
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, THINGS HAPPEN
SOON ENOUGH YOU’RE LOST, AND THINKIN’
WHEN I’M GONNA GO BACK HOME
OH ME, OH MY TIME GOES SLOW
WHERE’S IT GONE TO? I DON’T KNOW, BUT
MAYBE TIMES WILL TURN, I PRAY SO
MAYBE SOMEDAY I’LL GET LUCKY
SOMEONE’S GONNA SAY “ALL RIGHT SON,
TAKE THE TRAIN AND GO BACK HOME
HOP A FREIGHT AND GO BACK HOME”

EUGENE
Hop a freight! I’d walk all the way back to Atlanta if I could. I wouldn’t stop ‘til I got there. No more nightmares. Guards
beating me. Teasing me. And I’d be home for my birthday, too. Now that would be some present.

OH ME, OH MY TIME GOES SLOW
WHERE’S IT GONE TO? I DON’T KNOW

ALL
I DON’T KNOW, BUT

HAYWOOD
MAYBE TIMES WILL TURN, I PRAY SO
MAYBE SOMEDAY I’LL GET LUCKY
SOMEONE’S GONNA SAY

ALL (Except HAYWOOD)
ALL RIGHT SON,
TAKE THE TRAIN AND GO BACK HOME

HAYWOOD
HOP A FREIGHT AND GO BACK HOME”
