My Girl Back Home - John Kerr, Bill Lee, Mitzi Gaynor

My girl back home

I’d almost forgot

A blue-eyed kid

I liked her a lot

We got engaged

Both families were glad

And I was told by my uncle and dad

That if I were clever and able

They’d make me a part of a partnership

Cable, Cable, and Cable

How far away

Philadelphia, PA

Princeton, NJ

How far are they

From coconut palms

And banyan trees

And coral sands

And Tonkinese

How far away

Little Rock, ARK

Princeton, NJ

How far are they

From coconut palms

And banyan trees

And coral sands

And Tonkinese
