  *++Lyrics:|\\
The robins they were singing,\\
as the sun was go-ing down,\\
The noisy little brook flowed on its way\\
From a cross the peaceful valley\\
came the churchbell's welcome sound\\
The evening breezes spoke of new mown hay\\
A youth and maid were roaming\\
where the maples shade the stream\\
The falling leaves they rustle 'neath their tread.\\
He paused out in the moonlight,\\
while he took her little hand\\
And drew her closer to him as he said.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
While the red robin sings to his mate\\
I shall sing my true love, dear, to you\\
We shall build our own nest,\\
on the hill's lovely crest\\
and we'll make it our harbor of home.\\
As I sail 'cross the seas without you\\
All my love will be always at home\\
And then when I return we will be safe again\\
in our Harbor of Home Sweet Home.\\
\\
He stands once more a watching,\\
where the babbling brook flowed on,\\
The summer days have changed to winter cold;\\
No song birds now are singing\\
all the world with snow is white:\\
But he is dreaming of dear days of old\\
He wanders to the old farm house\\
where the lights they brightly gleam,\\
As if to guide the trav'ler who may roam,\\
Close by the fireside where she sat\\
an empty chair stands now\\
A letter reads dear Jack, I've just gone home.\\
\\
