Lyrics for The Old Home

I went to the old home where I once used to roam And all of my friends, had everyone gone How sad and how dreary, 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 dreary 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 dreary, 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
