I'll Be Welcome In My Home Town 1912

Don't ask me why I'm lonely,
don't ask me why I'm blue,
It's just a funny feeling
that I can't explain to you.
I have no cause to worry,
no reason to complain,
But I'm in an awful hurry
'cause I want to catch my train.

Goodbye to bright lights
farewell to white lights,
I'm satisfied I've seen the big town
and the great sights,
But good old Maine folks
are simple plain folks,
No fancy dresses,
just fond caresses;
There'll be no brass bands,
but lots of glad hands,
My sweetheart in her gingham gown
will come to greet me,
my pals will meet me,
'cause I'll be welcome
in my home town.

Goodbye to bright lights
farewell to white lights,
I'm satisfied I've seen the big town
and the great sights,
But good old Maine folks
are simple plain folks,
No fancy dresses,
just fond caresses;
There'll be no brass bands,
but lots of glad hands,
My sweetheart in her gingham gown
will come to greet me,
my pals will meet me,
'cause I'll be welcome
in my home town.

I've travelled round the country,
I've seen most ev'rything,
I've had my share of hardships
and I've lived just like a king.
I've made a lot of new friends,
some good and others bad,
But there's two friends
who are true friends,
they're your mother and your dad.

Goodbye to bright lights
farewell to white lights,
I'm satisfied I've seen the big town
and the great sights,
But good old Maine folks
are simple plain folks,
No fancy dresses,
just fond caresses;
There'll be no brass bands,
but lots of glad hands,
My sweetheart in her gingham gown
will come to greet me,
my pals will meet me,
'cause I'll be welcome
in my home town.

'cause I'll be welcome
