I went to the old home where I once used to roam
And my playmates had every one gone
How sad and how drear no voice could I hear
There was no one to welcome me there
No one to welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
How sad and how drear no voice could I hear
There was no one to welcome me there
I wnt to the spring that was flowing so free
And there I drank of water so clear
And sadly this voice seemed to whisper to me
There is no one to welcome you here
No one to welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
But when I behold those mansions above
There’ll be someone to welcome me home
