When you get home baby 
Write me a few of your lines 
When you get home little baby 
Write me a few of your lines 
That'll be consolation 
Lord Honey oh my worried mind 

Left my baby 
Standin' in the backdoor cryin' 
Well I left my little baby 
Standing in the backdoor cryin' 
I never felt so sorry 
Lord Honey till he said goodbye 

Kokomo me baby 
Kokomo me right 
Kokomo your mama, 
She'll be back tomorrow night 
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight 
Baby don't you wanna go? 
Right on to Lemon Light City 
Sweet home Kokomo 

Go on down to the river baby 
Goin' to sit down on the ground 
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby 
Goin' to sit down on the ground 
And let the way of the water 
Lord Honey wash my troubles down 

Kokomo me baby 
Kokomo me right 
Kokomo your mama, 
She'll be back tomorrow night 
I gotta cry with you baby 
Baby don't you wanna go? 
Right on to Lemon Light City 
Sweet home Kokomo
