traditional arr. Andru Bemis

lyrics

Homesick and lonesome, I'm feelin' kinda blue
feelin' kinda blue, I'm feelin' kinda blue
Homesick and lonesome, I'm feelin' kinda blue
I'm on my long journey home

There's a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe
the rain comes in and my foot goes through
I wore a hole in the bottom of my shoe
I'm on my long journey home

I lost all my money but a two dollar bill
a two dollar bill, a two dollar bill
I lost all my money but a two dollar bill
I'm on my long journey home

Methusela walked ten hundred years
when he saw that engineer
he must have cried ten thousand tears
I'm on my long journey home

If you get to heaven and you don't see
my name on that train to eternity
back it up, come rescue me
I'm on my long journey home

Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
it looks like rain, it looks like rain
Cloudy in the West and it looks like rain
I'm on my long journey home

Black smoke a'risin' and it looks like a train
It looks like a train, Lord could it be my train
black smoke a'risin' and it surely is my train
I'm on my long journey home

I hear the train a'comin' and I'll soon be gone
I’ll soon be gone, I’ll soon be gone
I hear the train a'comin' and I'll soon be gone
I'm on my long journey home

about

Andru Bemis South Haven, Michigan

"Michigan's premier neo folk artist ... is a modern day train hopping, banjo slinging troubadour who has made a name for himself in small venues across the US. His charismatic live show garners (accurate) comparisons to Arlo and Woody.” (ThisIsHappening - photo credit: Jack Hirschorn) ... more
