Chorus
Back home I’ll roam
Down that sleepy old Main Street
A score or more of my old time pals I’ll meet
And tho’ they’re simple out of date folks
I know that they’re a lot of great folks
I hear them shouting out, “How be ya!
We’re surely mighty glad to see ya!”
Each face, each place will recall some happy times
Old trails, old tales whisper’d to the church bells’ chime
Some day the sexton will ring ’em
For me and someone in gingham
I’ll be so happy when I get back home
