Lyrics

I dream of home up yonder oh yeah
where loved ones are waiting for me, oh yeah
each day my heart grows still fonder
for that home just over the sea

o let me go home
let me go home
I wanna be with my father once more
let me sit down by mothers dear side
I wanna talk of the days of old

in visions I sometimes to see them
see them around the old fireside at home
then I listen to their sweet voices
I hear them calling for their children
come on home
