Irving Berlin - Homeward Bound lyrics

When you've packed your grip for a homeward trip And you've started for the train There's a feeling grand of a happy brand That you really can't explain All aboard you hear with a welcome ear As the train speeds o'er the ground There's a happiness that you can't express When you're homeward bound Happy, happy, happy, happy When you're homeward bound, homeward bound That's the time you love the rattle Of the choo-choo hound, o'er the ground Doggone, how lovely it feels To hear those rattling wheels It's the grandest kind of sound All aboard, all aboard, step lively Happy, happy, happy, happy When you're homeward bound, homeward bound As you travel on your way The rhythm of the engine seems to say We're getting nearer to it We're getting nearer to it When you're homeward bound I have tried to doze but my eyes won't close Can't you guess the reason why? When the clock strikes ten, I'll be home again Never more to say Goodbye I don't like the jar of the Pullman car As it speeds along the ground Still a Pullman berth is the best on earth When you're homeward bound
