THERE'S A PLACE IN HAWAII
|
THAT IS VERY DEAR TO ME
|
I AM HOMESICK AS CAN BE
|
WON'T YOU LISTEN TO MY PLEA?
|
|
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KEALAKEKUA HAWAII
|
I WANT TO BE WITH ALL THE KANES AND WAHINES THAT I KNEW LONG AGO
|
|
I CAN HEAR OLD GUITARS A-PLAYING
|
ON THE BEACH AT HO'ONAUNAU
|
I CAN HEAR THE HAWAIIANS SAYING
|
"KOMO MAI NO KAUA IKA HALE WELAKAHAO"
|
|
IT WON'T BE LONG 'TIL MY SHIP WILL BE SAILING BACK TO KONA
|
A GRAND OLD PLACE THAT'S ALWAYS FAIR TO SEE.
|
I'M JUST A LITTLE HAWAIIAN AND A HOMESICK ISLAND BOY,
|
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY FISH AND POI,
|
|
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KEALAKEKUA, HAWAII
|
WHERE THE HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUAA GOES SWIMMING BY
