Well, I been away from home now
Oh, you know I miss my baby so, oh-whoa
I miss my mama's cookin'
And my daddy's scotch and rum
I miss my dog named Star
And my buddies Dazz and John
And I wish I was back in my hometown
Back in the place where I belong
'Cause I got the lowdown tired out
I got the lowdown hometown blues, oh-ho
Well, I woke up here this mornin'
Oh, you know I miss my baby so
And you know know what I here?
That's the way it goes
In this lonely old hotel room
Whoa, I really need to go back home
One more day far away might kill me
Whoa, I really need to go back home
'Cause I got the lowdown tired out
I got the lowdown hometown blues, whoa-oh
Well, I woke up here this mornin'
And I miss my baby so
I miss my sweet mama's cookin'
And my daddy's scotch and rum
I miss my dog named Star
And my buddies Dazz and John
And I wish I was back in my hometown
In the place where I belong
I got the lowdown tired out
I got the lowdown hometown blues
'Cause I got the lowdown tired out
I got the lowdown hometown blues
I got the lowdown hometown blues!
San Francisco blues
