Dave Van Ronk - My Little Grass Shack lyrics

rate me

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 used to know long ago

I can hear the old guitars playing

On the beach at Honaunau

I can hear the old Hawaiians saying

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, you're telling me

I'm just a little Hawaiian

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

Go swimming by
