(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
