The Old House At Home - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE OLD HOUSE AT HOME. Copyright, 1891, by Francis, Day & Hunter. Written and Composed by John J. Stamford. 
It often sets me thinking, when I'm feeling sad and low. Of the house that I was born in, ah, it seems (to long ago; Where my father and my mother lived before I thought to roam, 'Mid the sweet associations of the dear old house at home. 
Chorus. I fancy I can see it, I fancy I am there, Granddad sitting in the old arm-chair; Tho' far away I wander, wherever I may roam, I always think with feeling of the old house at home. 
A wild and truant rover, I in many lands have been, And many are the ups and downs, that in my life I've seen; In the mining camp, the battle field, and on the stormy sea, But 'mid them all, the house at home was ever dear to" me.-Chorus. 
The ones that made it home for me have gone forever more, And stranger fancies now are seen around the cottage door; But while I have life, I'll never cease to cherish and revere, The mem'ry of the house at home and those I hold so dear.- Chorus.
