Whoever wrote that web site
really screwed up the lyrics.
Gene Pitney did a good version of it.

> I'm afraid to go home
>
> I'm afraid to go home
>
> Got worries on my mind
>
> I'm afraid of what I'll find
>
>
>
> Will my family be gone?
>
> I'm afraid to go on
>
> Back to Tennessee...
>
> I'm afraid of what I'll see
>
>
>
> As I walk down this dusty road
> Got a heart with a heavy load
>
> Ain't a thing that's the same
>
> So much sorrow and pain
>
> Heading home in a single file
>
> Every inch is a quarter mile
>
> Ain't heard nobody sing
>
> Ain't seen one living thing
>
>
>
> Someone's waiting for me
>
> Honey, sweet as can be
>
> I wanna hold her tight
>
> Lord, make her be alright
>
>
>
> Maybe round the next bend
>
>
> All the ashes will end
>
> Valleys will be green
>
> Instead of what I've seen
>
>
> I'm afraid for the scrubby pine
> And that sweet honey suckle vine
>
> I'm afraid for my home
>
> Over fields that I roam
>
> As I go on that homeward road
>
> Guess my heart just can't take the load
>
> I'm afraid to go home
>
> I'm afraid to go home
>
>
>
> Sherman's been to my town
>
> Burnt it all to the ground
>
> Now there's not a tree
>
> Between Memphis and the sea
>
> Now there's not a tree
>
> Between Memphis and the sea
