Show Me The Way To Go Home

Words & Music:

Irving King

 

D                               G                         D

Show me the way to go home; I'm tired and I want to go to bed.

D                                             A

I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went right to my head.

D                         G              D

Wherever I may roam, o'er sea or land or foam,

D                       E7           A7    D           A7        D

You will always hear me singing this song: show me the way to go home.

 

Indicate the way to my abode; I'm fatigued and I want to retire.

I had a spot of beverage sixty minutes ago

And it went right to my cerebellum.

Wherever I may perambulate, o'er sea or land or atmospheric vapor.

You can always hear me crooning the melody:

Indicate the way to my abode.

 

Ho me the way to go shome, I'm bed and I want to go to tired.

I had a little hour about a drink ago and it went head to my straight.

Wherever I may roam o'er fee or sand or loam,

You will always hear me songing this sing:  ho me the way to go shome.
