Jimmy’s coming home today
His mother knows her boy is on his way
She cleans the room where he used to stay
Jimmy’s coming home today
“He’s a man now” she often would say
“He’s big and strong, but gentle in his way”
Jimmy’s coming home today
He is always so full of fun
He would never walk, when he could run
Jimmy’s coming home today
His mother is so filled with pride
Even though he never took a bride
Jimmy’s coming home today
His mother’s tears will guide his way
His quiet burial will end this day
Jimmy’s coming home
To stay
