Come home rollin' stone,

Home where you belong ( belong, Oh! come . . . )

Oh! come home rollin' stone,

You've been away too long!



I wandered into Kansas a-singin' a song

Singin' doodle-doo-day, all day!

And then I got a feelin' that somethin' was wrong

When a voice in my heart seemed to say . . .



Come home rollin' stone,

Home where you belong, belong,

Oh! come home rollin' stone,

You've been away too long!



I left my love a-weepin' in old Arkansas

Left her for the freight cars that passed

But last night in a tavern, I swear that I saw

Her face in a shimmering glass . . .



( Come home rollin' stone,

Home where you belong, belong,

Oh! come home rollin' stone,

You've been away too long . . . )



Now, when I hear that lonesome old train comin' near

And the moon is over the track

Oh somewhere from the shadows I know that I'll hear

Her voice in the clickity clack!



Oh come home rollin' stone,

Home where you belong, belong,

Oh! come home rollin' stone,

You've been away too long . . . ( Come home . . . )
