Now it's funny where some women live who sing upon the stage
They live in places where theyve never been
They'll rave about the roses that are growing round the door
Of that, the dear old home theyve never seen
They've lived in Arizona, they've lived in Alabam
Last year they all lived down in Texas way
It must be quite a job to move the dear old home about
But just the same this year youll hear them say

They're all going back, theyre all going back
They're all going back to Tennessee and Dixie
They've all got mothers there and fathers by the score
They've moved the poor old folk about until their feet are sore

All of them say when they get back they'll stay
What an overcrowded country it will be
But just one thing worries me
When they all go back to Tennessee
Therell be no one left in Wigan but me
