Sweet Darlin (Take Me Home) Lyrics

Long ago when the sky was still blue

I met a woman who was young and true

She took my hand

We roamed the land

And to think she looked just like you

I said goodbye and I won't be long

But I don't even know how many years I've been gone

That train engine steam

It still haunts my dreams

And I've got to be where I belong

Just give me something to patch this hole

A little bit of music to relieve my soul

I hope someday that you can take me home

Sweet darling

Well I don't know but I've been told

If I go farther north that I'll be freezing cold

I'm sick and tired

My heart's on fire

And I've got nowhere else to go

I'm getting old and my bones they are weak

But I miss my sweet mama and our place by the creek

You know that I'm

Running out of time

So won't you just hear my song

Just give me something to patch this hole

A little bit of music to relieve my soul

I hope someday that you can take me home

Sweet darling

I hope someday that you can take me home

Sweet darling
