[Verse 1] Here in this big city I am lonesome and so blue. I have no friends or confidantes. There's only one thing I must do. [Chorus] Take me back to my hometown. I'm lowdown and forlorn. Take me back to my hometown. The place where I was born. [Verse 2] I miss my mamma and my daddy. My brothers and sisters too. I miss my teenage sweetheart. Only one thing left to do. [Bridge] Colby, Kansas on the prairie I'm coming home to you. [Chorus] Take me back to my hometown. I'm lowdown and forlorn. Take me back to Colby, Kansas; The place where I was born. [Instrumental] [Chorus] Take me back to my hometown. I'm lowdown and forlorn. Take me back to Colby, Kansas; The place where I was born. [Verse 1] Here in this big city I am lonesome and so blue. I have no friends to turn to. Whatever can I do? [Verse 2] I miss my mamma and my daddy. My brothers and sisters too. I miss my teenage sweetheart. Only one thing left to do. [Bridge] Colby, Kansas on the prairie I'm coming home to you. [Chorus] Take me back to my hometown. I'm lowdown and forlorn. Take me back to Colby, Kansas; The place where I was born. [Instrumental] [Chorus] Take me back to my hometown. I'm lowdown and forlorn. Take me back to Colby, Kansas; The place where I was born.
