No One To Welcome Me Home

I went to the old home --- Where I once used to roam
And all of my friends --- had ev'ryone gone
How sad and how drear --- No voice did I hear
There was no one --- To welcome me home.

No one --- to welcome me home;
Oh! No, no one --- To welcome me home
How sad and how drear --- No voice could I hear
There was no one --- To welcome me home.

I went to the old school --- Where I once loved to play
And all of my playmates had every one gone
So lonesome and drear --- No voice did I hear
There was no one --- to welcome me home.

No one - to welcome me home
There was one --- to welcome me home
But, when I behold --- That Mansion of Gold
There'll be Someone --- to welcome me home.
