I Don't Wanna Go Home 1930 Ella Shields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Jul 2003

Henpecked John McGee,
one night on a spree,
had a drink or two,
then staggered home.
First time in his life
he had left the wife,
in a rage she waited all alone;
he took one look at her face,
then staggered out,
singing to a lamppost,
he commenced to shout:

"I don't wanna go home, No!
I don't wanna go home,
I'm just a poor old married man, you see,
searching for peace and for liberty;
I saw my wife tonight, Oh!
I prefer to roam,
don't ask me any more questions,
I don't wanna go home.

"I don't wanna go home, No!
I don't wanna go home,
I'm just a poor old married man, you see,
searching for peace and for liberty;
I saw my wife tonight, Oh!
I prefer to roam,
don't ask me any more questions,
I don't wanna go home."

Poor old Johnnie then,
to his pals again
wobbled back, and got their sympathy.
He sat there and gazed, absolutely dazed,
made a speech, then wobbled at the knee;
He said: "Now, my boys,
I'm goin' to have my fling,"
when somebody coaxed him to go home,
he'd sing:

"I don't wanna go home, No!
I don't wanna go home,
I'm just a poor old married man, you see,
searching for peace and for liberty;
I saw my wife tonight, Oh!
I prefer to roam,
don't ask me any more questions,
I don't wanna go home.

"I don't wanna go home, No!
I don't wanna go home,
I'm just a poor old married man, you see,
searching for peace and for liberty;
I saw my wife tonight, Oh!
I prefer to roam,
don't ask me any more questions,
I don't wanna go home."
