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'rytime I hear a railroad train (Whistle) It reminds me of my home again, And tho' I try to refuse, I just can't shake off those homesickness blues. 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'rytime I hear a railroad train (Whistle) It reminds me of my home again, And tho' I try to refuse, I just can't shake off those homesickness blues.
Second verse
I never thought that any one could feel so blue, But It's true, When you're broke people poke up their noses and just pass you by. And when you feel as if you’d like to be alone, You find you haven’t even got a place where you can moan.
(Chorus)
