The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When I left my Father's house, I was well supplied

I made a mistake when I did go, now I'm dissatisfied

I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home

I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

I'll go back to my Father's house, the place I love so dear

There they have plenty to eat, Lord, I am starving here

I'll go back to my Father's house, and fall down on my face

Declare I am not worthy to receive a servants place

I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home

I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

When father saw me coming, he did greet me with a smile

Threw his arms around him, saying,"Here's my wandering child!"

Father said to my brother "Go kill the fatted calf,

Tell our friends and relatives, my son's home at last!"

I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home

I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

My brother he was jealous, I believe I heard him say

"You give to him my portion, I never went away!"

Father said to my brother "You have been both good and kind,

Not calf I've given thee - all I have is thine."

I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home

I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong
