Lyrics
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
My head was wet with the midnight dew
Come along home, come home
The mornin’ star was a witness, too
Come along home, come home
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
Keep a-goin’, traveller
Come along home, come home
Keep a-singin’ all the way
Come along home, come home
Jes’ where to go I did not know
Come along home, come home
A-trav’lin’ long and a-trav’lin’ slow
Come along home, come home
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
Don’t be weary, traveller
Come along home, come home
