Would you listen Ms. Jones?
Let me please come home
Please girlI was a fool, that's plain to see
'Cause I had it all when you were with me
One little trip that brought my fall
And one little girl that started it allWhen you were away I felt so all alone
I guess I was weak when I should've been strong
I got no right to be here on my knees
But my sweet Harriett Jones, still I'm beggin' you pleaseSwing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come homeSee I was doin' so good with this monogamy
But see these pretty young girls, they won't let me be
Since losing your love, I'm such a bitter man
And if you let me come home, I swear you'll understandRight now, I spend all my nights sittin' here alone
Just drinkin' this wine, missing our happy home
To break it all down, I guess I'm tryin' to say
Some people must lose it all till they appreciateSwing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come homeSwing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby won't you let me come homeYou're the love of my life
Been through so much together
Girl don't you know that you're my best friend
Give my love another try
'Cause don't you know the stormy weather
Can bring a brighter love in the endJust let me come home
Let me come home baby
My Harriett Jones
Ooh let me come home girl, pleasePretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Pretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me beSwing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
Baby I just wanna come home
Swing low, swing low, sweet Harriett
My baby, don't you know I'm trying to come homePretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Swing low, sweet Harriett
Pretty pretty girls won't let me bePretty pretty girls all over me
Pretty pretty girls won't let me be
Swing low, sweet Harriett
Pretty pretty girls won't let me beSwing it all back to me
