CHARLES BROWN - 2/2 : "I want to go home"



"I Want to Go Home"
Charles Brown, Amos Milburn 两人合作撰寫和演譯的歌曲, 1959年, Ace Records 印製唱片發行面世, 成績平平, 翻唱版本衹有兩個。Charles Brown 在不同版本當中, 有藍調、爵士樂或教堂福音等不同格調, 歌詞多以即興演譯, 所以歌詞沒有完整版本的記載。

在樂壇以 "I Want to Go Home" 和 "I Wanna Go Home" 這名字, 以完全不同版本的歌曲, 大多數是男歌手的演譯, 相信同是遊子的心聲吧。1997年, 失明女歌手 Diane Schuur 演繹 Charles Brown 的版本 "I Want To Go Home" 亦唱出了任何人所面對孤單的感受。


"I Want To Go Home" - Diane Schuur 1997
I, I want to go home
'Cause I feel so all alone
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh yes, I want to go home

I can't hide my pride
When my friends cast me aside
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home

Just remember, before my end,
I want to go home
Start out over again
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I, I want to go home

'Cause I feel, I feel so all alone
I want to go home
I want to go home
Yes, I, I want to go home


"I Want to Go Home" - Derrick Morgan
I want to go home, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
If you see my mother
My dear sister and brother, yeah
Tell Lord oh, I want to go home
This life I'm livin'
Is better off dying, yeah
Lord oh, I want to go home
I want to go home, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
I want to go home, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
I want to go home, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home
I want to go home, I want to go home
Lord oh, I want to go home


"I Want to Go Home" - Charles Brown & Amos Milburn 1959
You know that I, I want to go home
Cause I feel so all alone now, I want to go home
I want to go home, oh yeah, I want to go home
You know that I can hide my pride
When my friend can see inside now
Oh no, I want to go home, I want to go home, oh yes
I want to go home right now

Well, just remember
Before I end, I want to go home and start all over again, oh yes
I want to go home, I want to go home, oh yes,
I want to go home, right now,
Everybody joins me to sing
You know that I want to go home,
Common brothers and sisters
Cause I feel so all alone, I want to go home,
I want to go home, oh yes, I want to go home, right now

Well, I so lonesome
Don't, please, please somebody stays here with me
That's why I want to go home, I want to go home, oh yes,
I want to go home now
Well, I so worry each night and day
Here since ever since I have waited to go home
I want to go home oh yeah, I want to go home, right now

You know I want to go home
cause I feel so all alone, I want to go home
I want to go home, oh yeah, I want to go home

You know it so hard, in this lonesome town,
All my friends, all my friends see me down
That's what I want to go home, I want to go home, oh yes,

There start a show, to lend me a hand, nobody, nobody,
Nobody seems to understand, just want to go home, oh yes
