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 those old guitars playing on the beach at honaunau

I can hear old hawaiians saying "komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahau

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 hawaiian and a homesick island boy

I want to go back to my fish and poi

I want to go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua Hawaii
