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 . . . )
