I wandered away from my home place
to search for a dream I can't find.
Now I'm alone with my memories.
I've got Home Sweet Home on my mind.
The night is now falling around me.
I won't sleep a wink till the dawn.
Tomorrow the daylight will find me
somewhere on my long journey home.
My Mama now kneels by her bedside.
She's praying for me while I'm gone.
My loved ones now wait by the fireside
just waiting to welcome me home.
