Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti, June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) American actor and singer, couldn't read music, and yet recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs, racking up major hits such as "That's Amore", "Volare", "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" and his signature tune "Everybody Loves Somebody". Besides being the ladies' man counterpart of Jerry Lewis in a series of comedies, besides being a ratpacker, Dean Martin, in his long variety show run on NBC, often seemed to be dead drunk on national TV. The fact that America saw his show as charming and wholesome just the same is a testament not only to the culture of the time but to Martin's own great charm. Dean was well known as a family man and his "drinking" was just an act. It used to bother Frank Sinatra (who was a big drinker) that Dean went home early to be with his wife and kids and not go hitting the bars with him.

Down Home Lyrics
Dean Martin
(Way down home way down home)
I got to pack and go going back where I come from
And the folks I really know
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
I got to say goodbye
How I miss the taste of Grandma's potato pie
And the pretty girls come in bunches
And they never treat you wrong
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Watermelon (Watermelon) costs but a dime (Watermelon)
And the fish by the river
They jump they jump on your line
I got to go you see
City life can never take the country out of me
So I'm going back where I come from
And I never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
(Watermelon costs but a dime)
And the fish down by the river
Jump on your line
I got to go you see
Anyone who asks for me
Tell them I have gone back home
Gonna fall back with that living
And I'm never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
