"Home Again Blues" (1921) Song By Irving Berlin and Harry Akst New York: Irving Berlin, Inc., 1587 Broadway [Source: 078/036@Levy] 1. I've been known to be a rolling stone for many years Now alone I sit around and moan when night appears Thoughts of my home Fill me with regrettable tears Ev'ry year Oh! how I long to hear a bit of news Friends appear to offer words of cheer but I refuse Pack up my trunk 'cause I've got those home again blues CHORUS [sung twice after each verse] I'm going Home know at the door Home just like before Roam never no more No place like Home Oh! what a song Home where I belong Oh! I've got those Home again blues 2. I can't wait until I reach that gate and home I see Sure as fate I know they're gonna wait to welcome me I want to state That's the end of misery If I knew I'd ever feel so blue I'd never roam But it's true we learn a thing or two away from home I'm telling you I've ceased to be a rollable stone
