Tonight I'm all alone, no place to call my own
Don't have no one to love me anymore
I'm gonna pack up my grip
And take a long, long trip
Back to the one that I love so

Oh I long to go back to my darling
Back to the one I love so well
I know she'll be my wife
When we settle down for life
'Cause she's the one that means the world to me

I can't forget the day I left and went away
You told me I'd be sorry some old day
I found it to be true
So I'm heading back to you
Sweetheart, I'm tired and want to settle down

* Refrain

When I get back to her my rambling days are o'er
We'll build a little cottage on the hill
We'll think of day's gone by
Sweetheart, just you and I
And there we'll live so happy ever more

* Refrain
