Howzabout "I Wanna Go Back To Michigan (Where The Ripe Tomatoes Grow)"?

God,  I feel so old knowing all this esoteric stuff.

John,
I think you may be thinking of a different tune; "I Was Born In Michigan" as recorded by Judy Garland, early in her career circa 1939-40.
Here's a copy of the lyrics.
Art Ibach


I was born in Michigan, 
and I wish and wish again
that I was back in the town where I was born.
There's a farm in Michigan,
and I'd like to fish again,
in the river that flows beside the field of waving corn. 
A lonesome soul am I...here's the reason why.
I want to go back, I want to go back, .
I want to go back to the farm..
Far away from harm, with a milk pail on my arm. .
I miss the rooster, the one that use-ter wake me up at 4am..
I think your great big cities very pretty...nevertheless 
I want to be there, .
I want to see there a certain someone full of charm. .
That's why I wish again that I was in Michigan, down on the farm. 
I want to go back, I want to go back,
I want to go back to that old farm.
Far away from harm, with a milk pail on my arm. 
I miss the rooster, the rooster that use-ter wake me up at 4am.
I think your great big cities very pretty...nevertheless
I want to be there, 
I want to see there a certain someone full of charm.
That's why I wish again, 
that I was in Michigan, down on the farm.
