As recorded by JACK HYLTON & HIS ORCH. with
vocal by HUGO RIGNOLD, Recorded 27th January 1928:


I’m going back again to old Nebraska
And if anyone should ask ya
I’ll be where the waving cornfields grow


In a tumbledown old cottage
Where a humble a bowl of pottage
Makes the most inviting meal I know


Back to a sainted pair with silver painted hair
Once you’re acquainted there, you’ll never roam


So, in a place between here and Alaska
Why, if anyone should ask ya
I’ll be in my old Nebraska home

As recorded by BOBBY GREY
with piano accompaniment by Tony Lowry:


Wandered here, wandered there
Fact I wandered most everywhere
Just like a gypsy, I roam


Seen the bad, seen the best
Sailed the seas from the East to West
Even where the ice billows foamed


I’m going back again to old Nebraska
And if anyone should ask ya
I’ll be where the waving cornfields grow


In a tumbledown old cottage,
Where a humble bowl of pottage
Makes the most inviting meal I know


Back to a sainted pair, with silver painted hair,
Once you're acquainted there, you'll never roam


So, in a place between here and Alaska,
Why, if anyone should ask ya
I'll be in my old Nebraska home.


Every road, every trail
Seems to whistle the same old tail
Seems to just beckon me back


Maybe soon, maybe long
I’ll be singing a hometown song
And when I start down the track


(Piano Solo)


Back to a sainted pair, with silver painted hair,
Once you're acquainted there, you'll never roam


So, in a place between here and Alaska
Why, if anyone should ask ya
I'll be in my old Nebraska home
