If I had one wish I wish I could go back to my old neighborhood For the good folks they all loved you as their own Then I'd go over to my neighbor's house Knock on the door and they'd all sing out Come on in sit right down and make yourself at home.
I sing their praises long and loud 'Cause they're all my friends and I'm mighty proud Of the little old town back home where I was born I wish that I could hear them say in the good old fashioned friendly way Come on in sit right down and make yourself at home.

Well, they don't lock their doors at night 'Cause they all know they're a doing right And the good Lord's bound to have them for his own If I'd go back to hear them pray In the little fine church they all would say.
Come on in sit right down and make yourself at home When I was a child of only three I said my prayers at my mother's knee And I knew right then from God I'd never roam When I get the summons on the judgement day I hope that I hear my Saviour say.
Come on in sit right down and make yourself at home. Come on in sit right down and make yourself at home...
