Verse : I never will forget the day I left my home ; Chorus : I've got the homesickness blues
Lyrics
VERSE 1 : 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 embarrassment . (Discontent) Ev'ry time I hear a railroad train , It reminds me of my home again , And tho ' I try to refuse , I just can't shake off those homesickness blues . VERSE 2 : 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 .
