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
