Oh, [G]come back to the job
[Em]Your mama needs you and [C]everyone knows
[D]I need y[G]ou too[Em]
[G]When you were just a child
[D]of twelve and a half
The games we used to play
were [G]just for a laugh
As we grew up [C]together, I never dreamed you'd ever [A]leave your family,
your old -time [D]friends and me
[G]Come back to the job,
[Em]your mama needs you
[Am]She's baked an apple by
the [D]way she used to
