(The) Old Home Town (A)

  I(A)                     IV(D)              I(A)
Tonight my heart is lonely for the folks back home
I(A)                                 V(E)
Where I left my mother and daddy all alone
        I(A)                  IV(D)         I(A)
There's been a lot of changes since I been around
I(A)                    V(E)            I(A)
I'd like to wander back to the old home town

    (Chorus)
    You'll never miss the home folks until you've gone away
    Then you'll need a friend to help you every day
    Then you'll call on mother but she won't be around
    I'd like to wander back to the old home town

I've searched this whole world over since I've been around
I've never found a place just like the old home town
If I could live life over I'd never roam around
I'd like to wander back to the old home town

    (Chorus)
