Well, I've been the wild, wild rover
Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wonder
Is made up full of me For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stardust glades And I
hear the wind whistling through the
wild wood Whispering goodbyes
And it's home by the town It's home by the town
It's home by the town When you fire across the phone
And if you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping mine
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try to write sometime
And if you see my mother Give her all of my love
For she has a heart of gold And as good as God above
And it's home by the town She's home by the town
She's home by the town When you fire across the phone
Oh, there's no place like home
And if you see my Alwyn Will you tell her I'm keeping fine
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try to write sometime
And it's home by the town It's home by the town
It's home by the town
When you fire across the phone
