In the morning they'll hang me For a crime I ain't done I confess I'm a sinner But I've never killed no one Lord be with my children And dear Sarah my wife Comfort their sorrows Oh, I've loved them more than life I've read the good book Found comfort and peace I'll not fear - even though death is near Still I would do anything I would give anything To go back home Home sweet home I'm a ghost in a daydream Unfettered and free Pass right through these fences My sweet Sarah runs to me Worked hard for a living Was honest but poor Paid my debts - and I have few regrets Still I would give anything I would do anything To see my home Home sweet home Home sweet home Home sweet home I pray for the fathers The husbands and friends False accused Whose last requests were refused They cry: I would do anything I would give anything To see my home Home sweet home
