Lyrics
Tonight I'm all alone no place to call my own
Don't have no one to love me anymore
I'm gonna pack up my grip and take a long long trip
Back to the one that I love so
Oh I long to go back to my darling
Back to the one I love so well
I know she'll be my wife and we'll settle down for life
Cause she's the one that means the world to me
I can't forget the day I left and went away
You told you me I'd be sorry some old day
I found it to be true so I'm heading back to you
Sweetheart I'm tired and I want to settle down
When I get back to her my rambling days are over
We'll build a little cottage on the hill
We'll think of days gone by sweetheart just you and I
And there we'll live so happy ever moreDemo Videos
