HOMEWARD BOUND 
Johnston

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio  Oct 18th 1945 New York



Feelin' very sad 'cause it's bad when you're all alone,
Baby please prepare for me there, 'cause I'll soon be home.
Can't imagine why, but I'm high and I still feel low,
Only got a dime and a long long way to go!

The night that I went away from you, I was glad that you stayed behind,
But the time that I spent away from you gave me time to change my mind!
Tell your other friends they don't have to hang around;
Baby, throw 'em out 'cause your man is homeward bound!

Tell your other friends they don't have to hang around;
Baby, throw 'em out 'cause your man is homeward bound!
