Lyrics

Come Back Home

He left his home in the mountains
Where he was born and raised
Last year ... he joined the service
To leave his home and go far away

His Mama kissed him, as he was leaving
Said, "Boy, ... You come back to me"
He smiled ... and said 'I love you'
As he left Franklin Tennessee

Let him come back home, come back home
All the folks from town did pray
Let him come back home, come back home
We won't rest till he's home one day
Please ... let him come home to stay

This young man... was a hero
As he stormed ... Utah Beach
Like so many ... of his comrades
His final goal he did not reach

This soldier who came from Franklin
Was sent home one day
He was buried there in Franklin
Where he finally came home to stay
