In my dear old home

I was happy as I could be

Where the mocking birds sang every night while I rest

In that little old log cabin by the sea



There is Mother and dear old Dad

Where I left I know it made them sad

So I'm going back to that dear old shack

Where I spent my happy days as a lad



Goodbye friends I'm leaving today

Goodbye friends I'm going far away

I'll be happy as can be on my dear old Mother's knee

In that little old log cabin by the sea
