(rod stewart, ian mclagan)

Mother don't you recognize your son, ooh hoo



Coming home, yeah yeah

Getting home, 'cause i failed you mother, hmm-mmm



I'll be there in the mornin'

If you have me back

The rent up here is much too high

For a room without a tap

A room without a tap, hoo



I'll be early in the morning

And i'll find my way back home

Back home bad 'n' ruin

With my tail between my legs

Tail between my legs

And i'll be so tired

I'll be so tired, now listen



I'll be early tomorrow morning

And i'll fall down off my plane

Don't be embarrassed mother

By your ugly worn-out son, hmm

Your ugly worn-out son.



So just let me warn you

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now, hoo



And i'll be down on cannon[?] street

Passport in my hand

Should you could not recognize me

I've heavily made-up eyes



Momma, you won't recognize me now

Brother, you won't recognize me now

Hello there

Sister, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Ooh, hoo



So mother when you've seen me

Don't forget i'm your boy too

I know my brother has done you proud

He's one foot in the grave

Mother don't you recognize me now ?



I'm a burglar in the first degree

But it don't seem to worry me

I'll be so tired, so tired

I'll be so tired, so tired

So tired
