Note: the lyrics are slightly different due to different versions of songs, in which the original go back home and his version of go home both mean "going home" and this way means "like this".
The lyrics are go a-home and this a-way, in which a- only means pronunciation, not meaning, and has no practical significance. Note that Go A-home, this away or This A-way without the "-"symbol are all wrong expressions.
