There's a single mother working 
Trying hard to make ends meet 
She's got two boys and another on the way 
And it's a cold and crowded winter 
In a West Virginia shack 
And she cries 
Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. 

Old man down by the river 
With a bottle in his hand 
It's as empty as the pockets in his clothes 
And he's drifting off to somewhere 
Walking down the railroad track 
Singin' Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. 

Chorus: 
Is it gonna be Monday 
Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord 
Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon 
I know it's gonna be one day 
Sooner or later, yea 
But the way it's been lately 
I hope it's gonna be soon. 

It's getting loose around the edges 
But I know you're gonna take up the slack 
Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. 

Chorus: 
Is it gonna be Monday 
Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord 
Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon 
I know it's gonna be one day 
Sooner or later, yea 
But the way it's been lately 
I hope it's gonna be soon. 

I've been reading the local paper 
I've been watching the nightly news 
Yea, this ole world's just rippin' at the seams 
And with a past, dark and brooding 
And a future looking black 
It's got me thinkin' 
Lord, Lord when are you coming back 
Lord, Lord when are you coming back 
Lord, Lord when are you coming back. 

Chorus: 
Is it gonna be Monday 
Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord 
Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon 
I know it's gonna be one day 
Sooner or later, yea 
But the way it's been lately 
I hope it's gonna be soon...
