I've Got To Rest Awhile
(copyright by ~Isaac (Joe) Wilson~)
(1) I've roamed around this whole wide world,
I'd guess a million miles;
I'm heading back to my home town,
And rest myself awhile:
Yes I'm going back to my home town,
Where memories still abound;
I'll settle down on some quaint farm...
And rest myself awhile...
Chorus: I've got to rest awhile, I've got to rest awhile;
I've traveled this wide world over, I've got to rest awhile.
(2) My Mother died when I was young,
She left us all alone;
My Dad somehow would keep the faith,
From there we'd travel on:
We moved around from town to town,
Like driftwood on the Sea;
But now I'll go to my home town,
And rest there as I please.
Chorus: I've got to rest awhile, I've got to rest awhile;
I've traveled this wide world over, I've got to rest awhile.....
(Instrument Break)
(3) A Lady there in my home town,
She hastens my return;
Somehow I know when I get there,
The love for her would burn:
I'd ask her then to marry me,
It would put me to the test;!
Lord help me now just to survive,
...I've got to have some rest...
Chorus: I've got to rest awhile, I've got to rest awhile;
I've traveled this wide world over, I've got to rest awhile.
Chorus: I've got to rest awhile, I've got to rest awhile;
I've traveled this wide world over, I've got to rest awhile.
