I'm Coming Home

Opening credits to "Cookie's fortune" with Charles S. Dutton.

I'm coming home
By David A. Stewart
Performed by Ruby Wilson

Some people are alone in a cold cold shed
Some people are born in a field of corn
It's been a long time that I been waitin'
I'm comin' home

I left my will to the congregation
I left my soul at the five and dime
I'm all alone, I'm ready
I'm coming home

Some people get rich with conversation
Some people get rich while asleep at night
I'm all alone, now I'm ready
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home, I'm going home

I loved a man, strong and sure
I lost a good man, hard working, strong
He's been gone a long time and I'm goin' to be with him
I'm goin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
Yeah, yeah, I'm coming home, yeah, yeah,
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love a man, strong and sure
I love a sweet man, strong and sure
He's been gone such a long time
Now I'm going to be with him
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home, yeah, yeah

(Thanks to missdaffers for the lyrics!)

fantastic! I've been looking for it for ages... I am also looking for the lyrics of this beautiful song. Could you help? thanks

The lyrics are under "more info" to the right - the dots are where I didn't get it. That's the best I can do :-)
