Lyrics
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
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
I’m going
