Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee

Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee

Any old place I hang my hat

Is home sweet home to me

Ho-li-li-oh-li

I went on to the depot and looked up on the board

I went on to the depot and looked up on the board

It's really good times here

But it's better on down the road

Ho-li-li-oh-li

Eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

Eat my breakfast here

Get my dinner in New Orleans

I'm gonna get me a mama

Lord I ain't never seen

Ho-li-li-oh-li

Where was you mama when the train left the shed

Where was you mama when the train left the shed

Standing in my front door wishing you've gone

I was dead

Ho-li-li-oh-li
