Homesick and lonely I`m worried and blue
I wanna see the baby and the baby`s mama too
I`m so tired of roamin` I`m about to lose my mind
Homesick and lonesome for that gal of mine
Mean old trouble is all that I`ve known
I`m missing my honey and boys I`m going home
If she`ll just let me tarry when I come draggin` in
You couldn`t take a shotgun and run me off again
This old boy`s got misery deep down in his soul
This old world`s too big and this old world`s too cold
I`ll be ridin` that freight train when she comes down the tracks
And next time you see me leave I`ll be flat on my back
[ fiddle ]
I never knew a body could ever feel so low
I have often asked myself why did I ever go
I`m a headin` home and this time there I`m gonna park
And if she wants a new dog then I`m gonna learn to bark
Homesick and lonely...
Homesick and lonesome for that gal of mine
