Author: Artist: Album: Many years ago, when I left my old home place Seeking what life would behold I bid them farewell, and left on my fourney Not thinking of stories, my mother had told Chorus I'm going back, to see the old home I'm going back, today I'm going back, to see the old folks It's been many years, since I drifted away I miss the old time singing, by the fireside As darkness would steal up the lane Old days gone by, in my memory still lingers I'm going back to my old home, again * Refrain Each night I have missed, Mom kneeling by my bedside Praying I'd always go straight When I get back, her smile will be missing She won't be there to welcome, me home at the gate * Refrain |
