Lyrics
Chorus
Homesick, I know just what’s the matter
I’m homesick that’s all
I see that cozy little shack and the little red school
Daddy on the back of a funny old mule
“God Bless our Home” on the wall
The fields of clover, they seem to say
“Why don’t you come over, pay us a call”
I miss the cows and the chickens
And the apple tree shady
And there’s that little old lady
Do you wonder why I’m homesick
