Lyrics:

If I look sad and lonesome, I'll tell you the reason why
Just last Monday morning my Dony said goodbye
When we got married, bought her everything she'd need
She got so awful greedy, wanted everything she see'd
Oh, my love, oh, my love, oh, my love
Tell her to come back home

Coffee grows on the white oak trees, the river flows with brandy
The hillside's lined with ginger cake, my Dony's sweet as candy
If you ride the grey horse, I will ride the roan
If you see my Dony, tell her I'm at home
Oh, my love, oh, my love, oh, my love
Tell her to come back home

If I was a blue bird, I would fly away
Fly right to your shoulder, and sing to you all day
Oh, my love, oh, my love, oh, my love
Tell her to come back home
Oh, my love, oh, my love, oh, my love
Tell her to come back home
