There’s a lonely cottage by the sea side
Where the water lillies through the shore
It was there I passed my happy childhood
With a loved one that’s gone before
Then give me back my dear old home
That old home by the sea
And I never will wander far away
From my home my dear old cottage home
Yodel
Many years have passed since there I wandered
But the old cottage has been forgot
And my heart in fancy oft returned
To that dear old familiar spot
Yes my heart is like the humming sea shell
That tells of its birth where ere it roams
I will sing of my cottage by the sea shore
Of my home my dear old cottage home
