Dreamer's Holiday ~ circa 1960
Rollin' Stone
 
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 . . . )
