Sentimental Journey

Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, I got my reservation Spend each dime I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that "All aboard" Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearning Why did I decide to roam? Gotta take a sentimental journey Sentimental journey home I wanna go back home, way down to Nashville Wanna go back home, do you know why? I miss the folks I love, ma's home cooking Sittin' 'round the fire at a catfish fry I miss the black eyed peas, mustard greens Candied yams, home baked baked beans I wanna fill my lungs with Southern air Sniff a whiff of ribs of barbeque and I'm there Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearning Why did I decide to roam? Gotta take a sentimental journey Sentimental journey home We got the sixteen tons of number nine coal The rock pile of money's gonna rock and roll Roll, roll, roll Carry me home (All aboard) All aboard --- Sentimental Journey - Dinah Shore
