My Girl Back Home lyrics

[CABLE]
My girl back home
I’d almost forgot
A blue-eyed kid
I liked her a lot

We got engaged
Both families were glad
And I was told by my uncle and dad
That if I were clever and able
They’d make me a part of a partnership
Cable, Cable, and Cable

How far away
Philadelphia, PA
Princeton, NJ
How far are they

From coconut palms
And banyan trees
And coral sands
And Tonkinese

[NELLIE]
How far away
Little Rock, ARK
[CABLE]
Princeton, NJ
How far are they

[NELLIE]
How far are they

[BOTH]
From coconut palms
And banyan trees
And coral sands
And Tonkinese
