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

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 appletree shady
and there's that little old lady
do you wonder why I'm homesick.

I'm only

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 appletree shady
and there's that little old lady
do you wonder why I'm homesick.

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 appletree shady
and there's that little old lady
do you wonder why I'm homesick.

I'm only

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 appletree shady
and there's that little old lady
do you wonder why I'm homesick.
