Lyrics
Chorus
I’m going home where I was born
I’m going back to join the throng
To my dear old Mammy there
And my daddy with his silver hair
Back where there’s ‘Welcome’ upon the mat
Think of that! think of that
I’m going back because I know
That is the only place to go
Everybody knows its worth
It is the greatest place on earth
So long, goodbye! I’m going home
Patter
It may be down on the old red farm
It may be in the city or a one-horse town
It may be in a lovely house or in a little flat
Or any old place that you hang your hat
It may be in a garret or the palace of a king
But lordy, what a great sensation
Going Home will bring
Home, we always love it
Home, will bring you joy
Home, it sounds like heaven
Thrilling every wandring girl and boy
Home, there’s nothing like it
Home will make you glad
Home, you’re all excited
Talking things over with your mother and dad
H. O. M. E.
