HOMESICK
(Irving Berlin,   1922)


I feel very blue, yes I do can't you tell, 
Worry quite a lot 'cause I'm not feeling well 
Friends have come to me, saying
"We can see, You need company," 
but I'm not lonely, I'm only

My poor heart will stop when I hop off the train, 
Such a happy soul when I stroll down the lane 
I can't wait 'til then, to be there again, 
In the twilight when the sun is setting 
I'm getting

Homesick, I know just what's the matter 
I'm Homesick that's all, 
I see that cozy little shack and the little red school, 
Daddy on the back of a funny old mule 
"God Bless our Home" on the wall 
The fields of clover they seem to say 
"Why don't you come over, pay us a call 
I miss the cows and the chickens and the apple tree shady 
And there's that little old lady 
do you wonder why I'm Homesick.
