Did you ever feel as though you were friendless
Then look back at joys that you left behind
Did the hours when you sat alone seem endless
Well, I know just what's on your weary mind

When just a field of grain, a shady lane 
Makes you long for home once again
You've got those wanna go back again blues

When swallows in the sky, flying by
Makes you brush a tear from your eye
You've got those wanna go back again blues

Although the sun shines bright
It don't seem to shine for you
Till that homesick feeling you can lose

When someone old and grey, far away
Haunts your memory day after day
You've got those wanna go back again blues

(Instrumental Break)

When just a field of grain, a shady lane 
Makes you long for home once again
You've got those wanna go back again blues

When swallows in the sky, flying by
Makes you brush a tear from your eye
You've got those wanna go back again blues

Although the sun shines bright
It don't seem to shine for you
Still that homesick feeling you can't lose

When someone old and grey, far away
Haunts your memory day after day
You've got those wanna go back again blues
