I've researched this for my grandfather who can still remember the words, but hasn't heard it played in years. The version this 92 y/o entitled "Goin Back to Whur I Come From" sung by Carson J. Robison from the early forties and includes my favorite line not found in some other versions: And then one night, that great temptation Got the best of me and drove me to a life of sin" I love to hear him sing funny song, especially since he has been a deacon some 60 years. He may have problems with his short term, but I'm thankful for his sharp long term memory. This version can be found on Youtube, enjoy!
