  • Oh, my soul craves to go home
    To long island shores again
    Take me back to old north pole
    To breathe in the harbor wind

    I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
    Sunday gone to my family reunion

    There my father preached at the church
    On the corner of Old Nickels Road
    He raised four children in a green house
    We are all well and now we're all grown

    I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
    Sunday gone to my family reunion

    There my mother Sharron lies deep
    In the earth of the long island shores
    I will visit her grave
    And plant yellow roses at her stone

    I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
    Sunday gone to my family reunion

    I'll be leaving
    Gone to my family reunion

    Oh, my soul craves to go home Writer/s: SMITH
