The Old Home Town

Tonight my heart is lonely for the folks back home

Where I left my mother and daddy all alone

There's been a lot of changes there since I've been around

I'd like to wander back to the old hometown

You'll never miss the homefolks until you've gone away

And then you'll need a friend to help you every day

Then you'll call on mother, but she won't be around

I'd like to wander back to the old hometown

I've searched this whole world over since I've been around

I've never found a place just like the old hometown

If I could live life over, I'd never roam around

I'd like to wander back to the old hometown

You'll never miss the homefolks until you've gone away

And then you'll need a friend to help you every day

Then you'll call on mother, but she won't be around

I'd like to wander back to the old hometown

You'll never miss the homefolks until you've gone away

And then you'll need a friend to help you every day

Then you'll call on mother, but she won't be around

I'd like to wander back to the old hometown
