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 are playing

On the beach at Honaunau

I can hear 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

I'm just a little lonely for Hawaiian 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 humuhumunukunukuapuaa

Go swimming by

Bye-bye
