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.
