Back in an old
-fashioned tumble -down shack,
Back in those mountains I love,
There I can sit in the twilight at night,
Under the blue
skies above.
Back where the old folks are waiting,
That's where I'm longing to be.
Oh, it's only a shack,
still it's calling me back
Where my loved ones are
waiting for me
When you've traveled the road,
and the day has been long,
An d you're homesick for
friends far away,
If you listen, I'll sing you a little old
An d to each weary
wonder I'll say,
Back in an old -fashioned
tumble -down shack,
Back in those mountain s I love,
There I can sit in the twilight at night,
Under the blue skies above,
Back where the old folks are waiting,
That's where I'm
longing to be
Though it's only a shack,
still it's calling me back
Where my loved ones are waiting for me
Oh, Lee, oh, Lee, oh, Lee, oh, Lee.
