1
I tol' some friends you came from Gary
2
'Tho your home was Naptown
3
Last time I saw you was in New York City
4
Leavin' on a Greyhound - homeward bound
5
I gave you what I had in my pocket
6
Enough for candy bars an' beer
7
Didn't I wave goodbye with a low-down feelin'
8
Still, I held back the tears
9
I started thinkin' 'bout you up in Milwaukee
10
It was rainin' when we reached Chicago
11
But the tears didn't start rollin' down my cheeks
12
'Til we rolled into Kokomo - Kokomo
13
No one I know who ever met you
14
Could resist the way you sang an' played
15
None of us will ever forget you
16
We all just wish you'd've stayed
17
To share the music you made
18
Ya tol' me you was gonna stop smokin' cigarettes
19
An' buy a good-lookin' car
20
Ya used to sing about your dreams comin' true
21
We thought you'd go so far
22
I started thinkin' 'bout you up in Milwaukee
23
It was rainin' when we reached Chicago
24
But the tears didn't start rollin' down my cheeks
25
'Til we rolled into Kokomo - Kokomo
26
First time you came overseas
27
You was only seventeen
28
Playin' the blues in Yank Rachell's band
29
You was happy to be heard and seen -
30
Hungry and lean
31
Next time around you was on your own
32
Makin' a name for yourself
33
Now all that's left is the love in our hearts
34
An' some reel-to-reel tapes on my shelf
35
I started thinkin' 'bout you up in Milwaukee
36
It was rainin' when we reached Chicago
37
But the tears didn't start rollin' down my cheeks
38
'Til we rolled into Kokomo - Kokomo
