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
