The Prodigal Son Lyrics

Recorded by hank williams, sr.

Words and music by jenkins



[g]
a prodigal son once [c] strayed from his [g] father

To travel a land of
[a] hunger and [d] pain

And [g] now I can see the [c] end of my [g]
journey

I'm going to [d] heaven a-[g] gain.



I leave you the
day, to help all your neighbors

I leave you the night, to solemnly
pray

So try to repent and ask for forgiveness

We'll meet up in
heaven, someday.



Goodbye to this world, with all it's sorrows

Goodbye to the fields, that I used to roam

I'm going away where, life
is eternal

My shepherd is callin me home.



From out of the
sky, he's coming to meet me

To wash all my sins and call me his own

His servants will bring, a ring for my finger

And never no more will I
roam.
