Well you left town when the sun went down and it ain't been up since then
But the mail today said you're headin' our way and now the sun's a gonna rise again

So I called everybody and I told 'em that we gotta get the celebration under way
My baby's been gone now she's comin' home happiness is on its way

It's a gonna be a mighty day in this old town tomorrow

That's when you're comin' home to stay

It's a gonna be a mighty day in this old town tomorrow

That's when the clouds will all roll away

No need denyin' I've been cryin' every since you went away
But all the while I've been savin' me a smile for your homecoming day

So I called everybody and I told 'em that we gotta get the celebration under way

My baby's been gone now she's comin' home happiness is on its way
It's a gonna be a mighty day...
