[Verse 1]
G C G
Tonight my heart is lonely for the folks back home
D
Where I left my mother and daddy all alone
G C G
I've seen a lot of changes there since I been around
D G
I'd like to wander back to the old home town
[Chorus]
G C G
You'll never miss the home folks until you've gone away
D
And then you'll need a friend to help you every day
G C G
And then you call on mother and she won't be around
D G
I'd like to wander back to the old home town
[Instrumental]

I've searched this whole world over since I've been around

I've never found a place just like the old home town
G C G
If I could live life over I'd never roam around
D G
I'd like to wander back to the old home town
[Chorus]
G C G
You'll never miss the home folks until you've gone away
D
And then you'll need a friend to help you every day
G C G
And then you call on mother and she won't be around
D G
I'd like to wander back to the old home town
