Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 24, 2022

Last night I heard a sweet voice calling,

“Come along, won’t you come along home.”

Wind on the river and the calves are falling,

“Come along, won’t you come along home.”

refrain “Come along, won’t you come along home now,

Night is falling and the path is steep.

Come along, won’t you come along home now,

Water’s running and the river is deep.”

Every night the voice gets bolder,

“Come along, won’t you come along home.”

Song gets sweeter as I grow older,

“Come along, won’t you come along home.”

refrain

—Chad Mitchell Trio

I think about this song more and more as I approach 80.
