Lyrics
Greyhound, Greyhound
Bring my baby home
Greyhound, Greyhound
Bring my baby home
Well I didn't mind her leavin'
But she stayed so doggone long
Roll on Greyhound, roll on
Roll her home to me
Roll on Greyhound, roll on
Roll her home to me
When she throws her arms around me
I'm sure gonna treat her right
Well I left my home in New York
To find happiness
Rode through New England
Covered all the West
Moved to Kansas City
On a long car freight
Rode to California
To the Golden Gate
Went down in Texas
Far as I could go
Flew through Alabama
To the Gulf of Mexico
Took a trip to Florida
On a fast choo-choo
Breezed through Mississippi
Louisiana too
Passed both Carolinas
Kentucky, Tennessee
Rode through Virginia
Up to old D.C.
From Delaware to Jersey
Went through every town
Lookin' for my baby
But she couldn't be found
Back to New York
Beat as I could be
Told a fortune teller
And then she told me
"Son, you been travelin'
Now you're standin' pat
My crystal ball just told me
That your baby's comin' back"
Greyhound, Greyhound
Let my baby ride
Greyhound, Greyhound
Let my baby ride
I need my baby
To keep me satisfied
