Tell My Sister

Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle


Weather man on the radio 
threatens rain maybe snow 
He just forecasts he don't know 
I need blue skies 
I've got to go 

I'm not a cowboy, I've never been shot 
I'm not a convict I've never been caught 
Tell my sister 
To tell my mother 
I'm coming home 
Home, alone 

Sunday morning I boarded a plane 
Leaving London England 
In the pouring rain 
Tell my sister 
To tell my mother 
I'm coming home 
Home alone 
Someday I'll be back again 
To that green and pleasant land 
Between the Channel and the sea 
Across the ocean, that's where I want to be 

But until the, tie me to the ground 
I've got to let these weary bones rest 
>From all that runnin' around 
Tell my sister 
To tell my mother 
I'm coming home 
Home alone
