[Verse 1] Many years ago, when I left my old home place Seeking what life would behold I bid them farewell, and left on my journey Not thinking of the stories that mother had told [Verse 2] I miss the old times, singing by the fireside As darkness would spiel up the land All the days gone by, and my memories still linger Im going back to my old home again [Verse 3] Each night I had missed Mom kneeling by the bedside Praying Id always go straight When I get back, her smile will be missing She wont be there to welcome me home at the gate [Refrain] Im goin back to see the old home, Im goin back today Im goin back to see the old home, Its been many years since I drifted away
