I'M GOING TO WRITE HOME
(Foster Carling)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers (Vocal: Del Porter) - 1942


Johnny Jones got very lonesome
When he went away
Mary Smith was right there with him
And she heard him say

When I need you most, and I feel you close,
Darling, just supposing I do
(Whistling)
I'll write right home to you.

If I can't caress you, why, heaven bless you
I guess you know what I'll do
(Whistling)
I'll write right home to you.

In dreams I'll see you always near to me
Everywhere that I may roam
So promise me to shun that apple tree
Till I come marchin' home

And until that day, if I'm asked to stray
From the straight and narrow and true
(Whistling)
I'll write right home to you.

(Musical Break)

And until that day, if I'm asked to stray
From the straight and narrow and true
(Whistling)
I'll write right home to you.
