[Verse 1]
In the morning they'll hang me
For a crime I ain't done
I confess I'm a sinner
But I've never killed no one
[Verse 2]
Lord, be with my children
And dear Sarah, my wife
Comfort their sorrows
Oh, I've loved them more than life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've read the good book
Found comfort and peace
I'll not fear
Even though death is near
[Chorus]
Still, I would do anything
I would give anything
To go back home
Home sweet home
[Verse 3]
I'm a ghost in a daydream
Unfettered and free
Pass right through these fences
My sweet Sarah runs to me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Worked hard for a living
Was honest but poor
Paid my debts
And I have few regrets
[Chorus]
Still, I would give anything
I would do anything
To see my home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I pray for the fathers
The husbands and friends
False accused
Whose last requests were refused
[Chorus]
They cry
"I would do anything
I would give anything
To see my home
Home sweet home"
