I'm goin' back back home real soon
I'm gonna see that gal the one I love so true
I think about her and her lovin' ways
you know it keeps me from wanderin' astray
When you been gone for a month or two
It's hard to keep your mind and yourself to you
I'd like to roam all night and all day
But her sweet love keeps me from wanderin' astray
If you've got a good gal one that loves you true
Don't you play around or this'll happen to you
You'll walk the floor and you'll moan and say
I wish I never had wandered astray
Now don't get me wrong I'm as red blooded as you
But why take the chance of bein' alone and blue
When I get home I like to hear her say
I love you dear I'll never wander astray
