The Prodigal Son (Edit Health and Happiness Show)

Recorded by hank williams, sr.

Words and music by jenkins[g] a prodigal son once [c] strayed from his [g] father

To travel a land of [a] hunger and [d] pain

And [g] now I can see the [c] end of my [g] journey

I'm going to [d] heaven a-[g] gain.I leave you the day, to help all your neighbors

I leave you the night, to solemnly pray

So try to repent and ask for forgiveness

We'll meet up in heaven, someday.Goodbye to this world, with all it's sorrows

Goodbye to the fields, that I used to roam

I'm going away where, life is eternal

My shepherd is callin me home.
