[e] i went to the old home --- where i [a] once used to [e] roam

And all of my friends --- had [f#] ev'ryone [b7] gone

How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice did i [e] hear

There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home.



[e] no one --- to welcome me home;

Oh! no, no one --- to [f#] welcome me [b7] home

How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice could i [e] hear

There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] 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.
