Every night I`m all alone never place to call my own
Don`t have no one to love me anymore
I`m gonna pack up my grip and take a long long trip back to the one that I love so
So long to go back to my darlin` back to the one I love so well
I know she`ll be my wife when we`ll settle down for life
For she`s the one who means the world to me
[ mandolin ]
I can`t forget the day I laughed and went away
You told me I`d be sorry some old day
I found it to be true so I`m headin` back to you
Sweetheart I`m tired and I`m gonna settle down
So long to go back...
[ fiddle ]
When I get back to her my ramblin` days are o`er
We`ll build a little cottage on the hill
We`ll think of days gone by sweetheart just you and I
And now we`ll live so happy evermore
So long to go back...
