Lyrics
Chorus:
When I’m blue lonesome too
What am I gonna do
Follow the swallow back home
When the wind starts to blow
Where am I gonna go
Follow the swallow back home
When the world is dark and gloomy
And my pals all try to do me
Listen to me, east is east, west is west
Birds go south, they know best
Follow the swallow back home
