American Old Time Song Lyrics: 20 Some Day I'll Wander Back Again
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 20
Some Day I'll Wander Back Again.
Copyright, 1870, by W. F. Shaw.
Some day I'll wander back again
To where the old home stands,
Beneath the old tree down the lane
Afar in other lands;
Its humble cot will shelter me
From every care or pain,
And life be sweet as sweet can be
When I am home again.
Chorus.
I'll wander back, yes, back again
To where childhood's home may be,
For memory in sweet refrain
Still sings its praise to me.
Some day I'll wander back again
To scenes so dear to me,
Where life sweet infancies refrain
Beside a mother's knee;
To live once more the golden hour
Of joyous merry play,
No thorns, but only sweetest flowers
There in life's merry way.-Chorus.
Some day I'll wander back again
To hearts so kind and true,
Whose gentle faces still remain
In memory's cherished view;
No more my wayward feet shall roam
Life's troubled pathway o'er,
But in the life and love of home
I'll rest me evermore.-Chorus
