I went to the old home Where I once use to roam And all of my friend's Had everyone gone How sad, And how drear No voice did I hear There was no one To welcome me home No one, to welcome me home Oh no, no one, to welcome me home How sad and how drear No voice could I hear There was no one, to welcome me home I went to the old school Where I once loved to play And all of my playmates Had everyone gone So lonesome and drear No voice did I hear There was no one To welcome me home No one, to welcome me home There was no one, to welcome me home But when I behold That mansion of gold There'll be someone, to welcome me home
