Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home

Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home
music by Harold Arlen (at the piano)
lyric by Johnny Mercer (top right)

Free an' easy that's my style;
Howdy do me, watch me smile.
Fare thee well me after while 'cause I gotta roam
An' any place I hang my hat is home!

Sweetnin' water cherry wine, thank you kindly, suits me fine---
Kansas City, Caroline, that's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.

Birds roostin' in the tree pick up an' go and the goin' proves that's how it ought to be,
I pick up too when the spirit moves me.

Cross the river round the bend, howdy stranger, so long friend,
There's a voice in the lonesome win' that keeps whisperin' roam!
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is, no matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
