Thread Name: Origins: Show Me the Way to Go Home
Subject: RE: show me the way to go home
I learned this song from an alzheimers' resident in a nursing home when I was an activities director. The lyrics are not due to the alzheimers', but rather it was just the way the lady, who had a terrific sensse of humor, always sang it.

Home me the way to go show!
I'm barred & I want to go to Ted.
I had a little hour about a drink ago,
& it went right to my head.
No matter where I roam,
on land or sea or foam,
You can always hear me a-singin this song:
Home me the way to go show!
