I went to the old home
Where I once used to roam
And all of my friends
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
