Words and music by Irving Berlin, 1947 Performed by Judy Garland in the film Easter Parade, 1948 For more details see Judy Movie Songs Page 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 field of waving corn. A lonesome soul am I, Here's the reason why: I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to 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 AM. I think your great big city's very pretty. Nevertheless, I want to be there, I want to see there A certain someone full of charm. That's why I wish again That I was in Michigan, Down on the farm. I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back to that ol' farm Far away from harm, with a milk pail on my arm. I miss the rooster, the rooster that used to Wake me up at four AM. I think your great big city's very pretty. Nevertheless I want to be there, I want to see there A certain someone full of charm. That's why I wish again That I was in Michigan Down on the farm. [Contributed by Ruth] |
