lirik lagu ray charles - dear old syracuse
this is a terrible city.
the people are cattle and swine.
there isn’t a girl i’d call pretty
or a friend that i’d call mine.
and the only decent place on earth
is the town that gave me birth.
you can keep your athens,
you can keep your rome,
i’m a hometown fellow
and i pine for home,
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
though i’ve worn out sandals
and my funds are low,
there’s a light that’s burning in the patio,
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
it is no metropolis,
it has no big acropolis,
and yet there is a quorum
of cuties in the forum.
though the boys wear tunics that are out of style
they will always greet me with a friendly smile.
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
both the nile and danube
are a silly bore.
i’ve a hometown river
that -ssaults my door.
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
when a man is lonely
it is good to know
there’s a red light burning in the patio.
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
wives don’t want divorces there,
the men are strong as horses there,
and should a man philander,
the goose forgives the gander.
when the search for love becomes a mania,
you can take the night boat to albania.
i wanna go back, go back
to dear old syracuse.
