The Homesick Blues are with me
They crawl under my skin
Like the sea, they come with a vengeance
Like the wind, they howl in the night
I am longing for my homeland
Where the bitter seas aren't so deep
They do not roar with relentless hate
They instead sing me to sleep
And they sing
I am spending my days on the ocean
Going to and from port to port
But I still see no sign of my homeland
Beside it these sights they always fall short
I believe that it's time to go back there
To this place where my heart was ever sweet
I will plunge myself into the ocean
And my paradise I will once again meet
