Lyrics

1. I’m thinking of the dearest of places
   ‘Way out West in the open spaces
   Where a little world belongs to me
   I’m thinking of the fairest of faces
   One whose charms and Heavenly graces
   Bring to me a tender memory

Refrain
Lonely Acres in the West
Call me to my humble nest
Nevermore do I care to roam
When I die lay me ‘neath a stone on
Lonely Acres in the West

2. In all my dreams it seems that I wander
   To the land that I love out yonder
   Thru the night it calls me constantly
   Then at the dawn I waken and ponder
   Every day I grow all the fonder
   For the prairie holds the heart of me

Refrain
Lonely Acres in the West
Call me to my humble nest
Nevermore do I care to roam
When I die lay me ‘neath a stone on
Lonely Acres, Home Sheet Home
