Verse:

Like a kid who stays away from school,

I left to roam, played hookey from Home Sweet Home.

I've been like most any other fool,

Who goes away to stray that's why I say:

 

Chorus:

Tie me to your apron strings again,

I know there's room for me upon your knee.

Bring back all those happy hours when,

You kissed my tears away, from day to day.

I thought that I was right, but I was wrong,

Please take me back tonight, where I belong.

Sing a cradle song to me and then,

Won't you tie me to your apron strings again.
