Lyrics
I want to go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii
I want to be with all the Kanes and Wahines that I knew long ago
So long ago
I can hear old guitars a-playin'
On the beach at Hōonaunau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
"Komo mai no kāua i ka hale welakahao"
It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailing back to Kona
It's a grand old place that's always fair to see
You're telling me
You know, I'm just a little Hawaiian and a homesick Island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
I can hear old guitars a-playing
On the beach at Hōonaunau
I can hear the Hawaiians saying
"Komo mai no kāua i ka hale welakahao"
Oh, the island girls are always fair to see
You're telling me
You know, I'm just a little Hawaiian and a homesick Island boy
I want to go back to my fish and poi
I want to go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a goes swimming by
