When you took me to the city, bought me clothes and things
You took me to the city, bought me diamond rings
But I forgot to tell you, your queenie don't like things
Goin' back to Oklahoma, back to my ol' hometown
Yes, back to Oklahoma, back to my ol' playground
Where folks all take it easy and never race around
Got a house and an auto, got a dog and baby chick
Eleven in my family, don't need you to get my kick
Goin' back to Oklahoma, back to my hometown
Where folks all take it easy and never race around
Cincinnati and Milwaukee, every time we've had a date
Once in New York City, you were two weeks six days late
That's all baby, baby that's all for now
Goin' back to Oklahoma where folk don't race around
Well alright baby, well alright you were wrong
Goin' back to Oklahoma, see you and so long
I'm gonna take it easy and never race around
