[1st verse:]When you’ve packed your grip for a homeward tripAnd you’ve started for the trainThere’s a feeling grand of a happy brandThat you really can’t explainAll aboard you hear with a welcome earAs the train speeds o’er the groundThere’s a happiness that you can’t expressWhen you’re homeward bound[Refrain:]Happy, happy, happy, happyWhen you’re homeward bound, homeward boundThat’s the time you love the rattleOf the choo-choo hound, o’er the groundDoggone, how lovely it feelsTo hear those rattling wheelsIt’s the grandest kind of soundAll aboard, all aboard, step livelyHappy, happy, happy, happyWhen you’re homeward bound, homeward boundAs you travel on your wayThe rhythm of the engine seems to sayWe’re getting nearer to itWe’re getting nearer to itWhen you’re homeward bound[2nd verse:]I have tried to doze but my eyes won’t closeCan’t you guess the reason why?When the clock strikes ten, I’ll be home againNever more to say GoodbyeI don’t like the jar of the Pullman carAs it speeds along the groundStill a Pullman berth is the best on earthWhen you’re homeward bound
