She wrote to me from Texas
Told me about the war
Told me 'bout my brother Jess
Livin' with the girl next door
I wish she'd told me more

Ginger Man, follow me home
Ginger Man, follow me home

I heard from her in Utah
She told me about my dad
Told me how they worked him hard
Guess he just fell down dead
I wish she'd cleared my head

Ginger Man, follow me home, babe
Again and again
Ginger Man, follow me home

Ginger Man, follow me home, babe
Again and again
Ginger Man, follow me home

At last I saw the light
After all those years
I knew I must be right
Through all the pain of years, and I know
Baby I know
Yes I know
Baby I know

I got a card in Memphis
New address, see as above
She told me that she found herself
A big city turtle dove
I signed my name with love

Ginger Man, follow me home, babe
Again and again
Ginger Man, follow me home

Ginger Man, follow me home, babe
Again and again
Ginger Man, follow me home
