HOMEWARD BOUND (Dinah Washington)
Lionel Hampton (m) Leonard Feather (l)

Dinah Washington w The Lionel Hampton Septet  
Dec 29th 1943 New York


Babe I called to tell you I'm feelin' so all alone,
Babe I called to tell you I'm feelin' so all alone,
And I'm warnin' you to be ready, for your mama's comin' home!

I was high last night, but today I'm dull and low,
I was high last night, but today I'm dull and low,
I've got a dime in my pocket and a long long way to go!

Tell me baby, have you any strange women hangin' around?
Tell me baby, have you any strange women hangin' around?
You better store my treat 'cause your mama's homeward bound!
