Never saw such happy folks
Though most of them were broke
They were happy, that's no joke
When I went back home
Should-a seen me truckin' down the street
Sayin' hello to the folks I'd meet
Sincerity, what a treat
When I went back home
Now, Maw said, "Gal, come to the table
And eat just as much as you're able"
Hmmm, lordy, what a pity
I couldn't bring some food back to New York City
Never saw so many flowers before
Growin' round one little cabin door
I felt I'd never want to roam no more
When I went back home
