I'm flying across the ocean
and I'm soaring back home
to the place I was born and probably raised.
And I'm flying across the mountains and valleys,
back home to the one that I love so happily.

Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'cause I've been away such a very long long time?
I served a while in the county jail, five years for
For bein' hungry tired and poor, I got worried so.

On and on,
This I will follow with your buttons and bows.
On and on this I will follow, all alone,
you know I will follow with your buttons and bows,
On and on I'm flying across the ocean, going home.

I'm flying across the ocean
And I'm going. . .ho
