When You're A Long, Long Way From Home

I know where the sun is shining I know where someone is

pining just a simple pal a country gal I know she's true

What's the use of tears and sighing after many years of

trying guess I'm going home no more to roam I'm feeling blue.



When I leave this town I'll hurry where they never frown or

worry when I say goodbye no one will sigh when I am gone

give me back the brooks and clover with those shady nooks

all over I could be content without a cent where I was born.



When you're a long long way from home it makes you feel

like you're alone its hard to find a pal that's true that you can

tell your troubles to and when you send a letter home your

mother's voice rings in your ears and then you cross the T's

with kisses what a strange world this is, then you dot the I's

with tears and all the sunshine turns to gloom when you're a long

way from home.
