American Old Time Song Lyrics: 08 Come Back To The Old Home Again
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 8
Come Back to the Old Home Again.
The mother's heart was o'erladen with care,
Her eyes oft filled with tears;
And the father of trouble had borne his share,
For the son they'd not seen for years.
In an angry mood he had gone away,
And left them in grief and pain;
Oh, would he could hear his parents say:
"Come back to the old home again."
In vain is his chamber kept prepared,
In vain do they watch the door,
In hope of news from him who had dared
To leave them forever more.
He lies dead in the bush, 'neath the burning sky
Of Australia's boundless plain,
And never on eartli shall he hear their cry:
"Come back to the old home again."
