I seem fated to be related
To some explorer of old
Leave the old lands to search for new lands
In a hope of riches and gold
Once long ago, I fancy that he
Longed for his home folks just like me

Little brown birds go whirling by
Humming together as they fly
After the sun kissed the world goodbye
In my home town

Little grey clouds float in the sky
Little cool breezes seem to sigh
After the sun kissed the world goodbye
In my home town

Since childhood days I’ve been a roamer
Roaming up and down
Now I’m a home sweet homer
Heading for my old home town

Oh together again, my love and I
Together beneath the moon on high
After the sun kissed the world goodbye
In my home town.

(Musical Break)

Since childhood days I’ve been a roamer
Roaming up and down
Now I’m a home sweet homer
Heading for my old home town

Oh together again, my love and I
Together beneath the moon on high
After the sun kissed the world goodbye
In my home town.
