[Intro] G C G D G C G D G [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] G C G D G C G D G [Verse 2]
     G                              C               G
I've searched this whole world over since I've been around

                                                D
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
[Instrumental] G C G D G C G D G [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
