Home Again Blues

[1st verse:]

I've been known to be a rolling stone for many years

Now alone, I sit around and moan when night appears

Thoughts of my home fill me with regrettable tears

Ev'ry year Oh! how I long to hear a bit of news

Friends appear to offer words of cheer but I refuse

Pack up my trunk 'cause I've got those home again blues

I'm going

[Refrain:]

Home, knock at the door

Home, just like before

Roam, never no more

No place like

Home

Oh! what a song

Home, where I belong

Oh! I've got those home again blues

[2nd verse:]

I can't wait until I reach that gate and home I see

Sure as fate I know they're gonna wait to welcome me

I want to state that that's the end of my mis'ry

If I knew I'd ever feel so blue I'd never roam

But it's true we learn a thing or two away from home

I'm telling you I've ceased to be a rolling stone

I'm going

[Patter:]

When I left home I didn't have a cent

I wasn't broke but I was badly bent

I didn't have a single dime to count

And now I'm going home with the same amount

My letters read that daddy's doing fine

And that my brother's working overtime

With all that money rolling in the shack

Ain't nobody living can hold me back

Feet, just you hear my pray'r

Don't you weaken till you do your share

I've gotta heartache

I wanna partake

Of all the joys that's waiting there
