Lyrics:
First verse
I never will forget the day I left my home, Just to roam Anywhere, didn't care, Had the trav'ling fever on my brain. I never thought I would regret that awful day, But now I must confess I've got to step right up and say
Chorus
I've got the homesickness blues, Landlord's waitin' for the rent,(And I ain't got a cent,) Wild weepin' blues, Financial embarassment.(Discontent)Ev'ry time I hear a railroad train, It remainds me of my home again, And tho' I try to refuse, I just can't shke off those homesickness blues I've got the blues.
Second verse
I never thought tha any one could feel so blue, But it's true, When you're broke people pokeup their noses and just pass you by. And when you feel as if you'd like to bealone, You find you haven't even got a place where you can moan
(Chorus)
