(Max & Harry Nesbitt / Morton Fraser)
Reginald Williams & his Futurists
Small town, at long last I’m on my way
Thought of you night and day
Yearn for that new mown hay
Small town, I’m on my way home
Big town, my pockets I thought you’d fill
A mansion upon a hill
I fell like Jack and Jill
Small town, I’m on my way home
I don’t see why
I should keep on hanging around
I’ve stayed so long
In the end it just got me down
Small town you’ve been just a memory
And now I can plainly see
There’s no other place for me
Small town, I’m on my way home
