I was born in Michigan and I wish and wish again

That I was back in the town where I was born

There's a farm in Michigan and I'd like to fish again

In the river that flows beside the fields of waving corn

A lonesome soul am I, here's the reason why

I wanna go back, I wanna go back

I wanna go back to the farm

Far away from harm

With a milk pail on my arm

I miss the rooster, the one that used to

Wake me up at four a.m.

I think a great big city's very pretty

Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there

A certain someone full of charm

That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan

Down on the farm

I wanna go back, I wanna go back

I wanna go back to the farm

Far away from harm

With a milk pail on my arm

I miss the rooster, the one that used to

Wake me up at four a.m.

I think a great big city's very pretty

Nevertheless I wanna be there, I wanna see there

A certain someone full of charm

That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan

Down on the farm

That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan

Down on the farm
