I wondered to the hills and the valley so free
I went to the well where so freely I'd drink
I looked for my parents and loved ones so dear
But there was no one to welcome me there
No one to welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
How sad and how drear there's no one to cheer
For there was no one To welcome me home
I went to the old home so sad forlorn
Where all the great joys that where here are now gone
I went to all the old places
Saw only sad faces
And there was no one to welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
No one to call me their own
How sad and how drear there's no one to cheer
For there was no one To welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
No one to welcome me home
I thought of my mother
but to heaven she's gone
And there was no one to welcome me home
And there was no one to welcome me home
