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

I can hear old guitars a - playing On the beach at Honaunau

I can hear old Hawaiians say - ing Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao

It won't be long till my ship will be sailing back to Kona A grand old place that's always fair to see,

I'm just a little Hawaiian like 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 humu-humu nuku-nuku a pua'a Go swimming by.
