I Want To Go Back To Michigan - Judy Garland

I was born in Michigan

And I wish and wish again

That I was back in the town where I was born

There’s a farm in Michigan

And I’d like to fish again

In the river that flows beside the fields of waving corn

A lonesome soul am I Here’s the reason why:

I want to go back

I want to go back

I want to go back to the farm

Far away from harm

With a milk pail on my arm

I miss the rooster

The one who useter

Wake me up at four A.M.

I think your great big city’s very pretty, nevertheless

I want to be there

I want to see there

A certain someone full of charm

That’s why I wish again

That I was in Michigan

Down on the farm

You can keep your cabarets

Where they turn nights into days

I’d rather be where they go to bed at nine

I’ve been gone for seven weeks

And I’ve lost my rosy cheeks

That’s the reason I’d rather have the country life for mine

My thoughts are far away

That’s just why I say
