Here I'm thinking of you, while here all alone, I'm wishing and longing for you and for home. I'd give this whole world if I could only say, I'm climbing that hill headed that way. Oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly. For I'm lonesome and blue, for some place to roam, and I wish it could be down the old road to home. With a troubled mind and a heart full of pain, I've searched the whole world for fortune and fame. But I'm longing to be with you once again, so we could stroll down old memory lane. Oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly. For I'm lonesome and blue, for some place to roam, and I wish it could be down the old road to home. There's a little red house on top of a hill, not very far from an old syrup mill. And I'd give this world if I could only say, I'm climbing that hill headed that way. Oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly. For I'm lonesome and blue, for some place to roam, and I wish it could be down the old road to home. Oh dilly, oh dilly, oh dilly.
