Show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed. I had a little drink about an hour ago, And it’s gone right to my head. Wherever I may roam, On land or sea or foam, You can always here me singin’ this song: Show me the way to go home. ---

I’m sitting in the railway station Got a ticket to my destination On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand And ev’ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band Homeward bound, I wish I was Homeward bound. Home where my thought’s escaping, Home where my music’s playing, Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me ---

Ol’ times there are not forgotten, Whuppin’ slaves and pickin’ cotton, And waitin’ for the Robert E. Lee. (It was never there on time.) I’ll go back to the Swanee, Where pellagra makes you scrawny, And the honeysuckle clutters up the vine. I really am a-fixin’ To go home where there’s no mixin’ Down below that Mason-Dixon line. ---

Clean shirt, new shoes and I don’t know where I am goin’ to. Silk suit, black tie, I don’t need a reason why. They come runnin’ just as fast as they can coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Gold watch, diamond ring, I ain’t missin’ a single thing. And cufflinks, stick pin, when I step out I’m gonna do you in. They come runnin’ just as fast as they can coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Top coat, top hat, I don’t worry coz my wallet’s fat. Black shades, white gloves, lookin’ sharp and lookin’ for love. They come runnin’ just as fast as they can coz every girl grazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. ---

Well, you can stake that claim Good work is the key to good fortune Winners take that praise Losers seldom take that blame If they don’t take that game And sometimes the winner takes nothing We draw our own designs But fortune has to make that frame We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That’s the way that lady luck dances Roll the bones Why are we here? Because we’re here Roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones ---
