Down the Old Road to Home

(Jimmie Rodgers - Carey D. Harvey)



I'm thinking of you while here all alone

I'm wishing and longing for you and for home

I'd give this whole world if I could only say

I'm climbin' that old hill heading that way.



For I'm lonesome and blue

For some place to roam

And I wish it could be

Down that old road to home.



With a troubled mind and a heart full of pain

I've searched this whole world for fortune and fame

But I'm longing to be with you once again

So we could go strolling down old mem'ry lane.

There's a little white house on the top of the hill

Not very far from an old sawmill

And I'd give this world if I could only say

I'm climbing that old hill heading that way.



For I'm lonesome and blue

For some place to roam

And I wish it could be

Down that old road to home...
