Tea kettle whistlin’
Hushed murmur sigh
Baby hairs curlin’
Silent night cry

Sweet talk-talk-talkin’
Hurricane blow
Been away so long
Won't you come home?

Won't you come home to me,
I've been so alone
Flowers grow, and then wilt,
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May,
Won't you please come on home?

Kick drums keep kickin’
Leaves skitter down streets
Keep prayin’ to God
That your soul I might keep

Dogs tuck in their tails
Snow sits on the sill
Sugar rotting my teeth
And I'm missin’ you still

Won't you come home to me,
I've been so alone
Flowers grow, and then wilt,
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May,
Won't you please come on home?

I keep seein’ your face
Round every street sign
My heart stops, I swear,
It's shiverin’ my spine

And I swear, Mary May,
I've never missed you more
Than last Saturday
When you walked through my door

Won't you come home to me,
I've been so alone
Flowers grow, and then wilt,
And I'm still on my own
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May,
Won't you please come on home?

Won’t you come home to me
I;ve been so alone
Ive followed you here
But theres nowhere to go
There's a chill in the air
Just your voice through the phone
Jesus Christ, Mary May,
Won't you please come on home?
