Dock Boggs - Prodigal Son lyrics

When I left my father's house I was well-supplied I made a mistake and I did wrong And I'm dis-satisfied I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong I'll go back to my father's house I'll fall down on my face Say that I'm unworthy I'll seek a servant's place I'll go back to my father's house The place I love so dear For there they have plenty to eat And I'm a-starving here I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Father seen him coming He met him with a smile Threw his arms around him Says "This is my wandering child" Father said to his servants "Go k** a fatted calf Invite both friends and relatives My son's come home at last" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Banquet's in procession All sorrow has pa**ed Father's heart was filled with joy His son come home at last The elder son was jealous I believe I heard him say "Gave my brother his portion I never went away" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Father said to his elder son "You've been both good and kind Not a calf I'll give unto thee But all I have is thine" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong
