Lyrics:
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 ev'ry care and pain,
And life be sweet as sweet can be
When I am home again.
chorus:
I'll wander back yes, back again
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 in fancy's refrain
Beside a mother's knee,
To live once more the golden hour,
Of joyous merry play,
No thorns but only sweetest flow'rs
There in life's merry way.
Some day I'll wander back again,
To hearts so kind and true,
Whose gentle faces still remain
In mem'ries cherished view,
No more my waywoard feet shall roam
Life's troubled pathway o'er,
But in the life and love of home
I'll rest me evermore.
