UNCLE JEFFS RETURN.
Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Harms & Oo.

My life is full of misery and pain,
I've travelled over land and on the sea;
But now I am back home once again,
I wonder how they'll welcome me?
Oh! where are the friends that I loved?
There is the home where I was born;
Oh! do they ever think of me?
Or do they think me dead and gone?

Refrain,
My life is full of misery And pain,
I've travelled over land and on the sea;
But now I am back home again,
I wonder how they'll welcome me?

Chorus.
Back to the home he loves so well,
Back to never leave again;
Kind friends, I'm glad to see you welcome me,
Uncle Jeff has just returned.

The misery and pan has pass'd away,
My heart is filled with comfort and with joy;
No more to roam so far away from home,
I'll stay here now until I die.
And when I am called up above.
To meet the loved ones gone before;
I hope they'll be watching there for me.
When I reach that shining shore.-Refrain & Chorus.
