Burl Ives - I Ain't Comin' Home Tonight Lyrics

Burl Ives Lyrics

"I Ain't Comin' Home Tonight"

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

Goodbye woman that I don't love
Goodbye woman that I don't love
Goodbye woman that I don't love
I'm gonna find myself a new turtle dove

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

The water in the well at home is bad
The water in the well at home is bad
The water in the well at home is bad
And I want water like I ain't ever had

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

I found me new food and drink
I found me new food and drink
I found me new food and drink
Well I found me a brand new home I think

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

In my new home there's meat and bread
In my new home there's meat and bread
In my new home there's meat and bread
And you can go live with your uncle Fred

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright

I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
I ain't comin' home tonight
My soul is restless and the moon is bright
