Lyrics
- Some day I’ll wander back again
To where the old home stands
Beneath the old tree down the lane
Afar in other lands
Its humble cot will shelter me
From ev’ry care and pain
And life be sweet as sweet can be
When I am home again
Chorus
I’ll wander back, yes, back again
Where childhood’s home may be
For meory in sweet refrain
Still sings its praise to me
- Some day I’ll wander back again
To scenes so dear to me
Where life sweet in fancies refrain
Beside a mother’s knee
To live once more the golden hour
Of joyous merry play
No thorns but only sweetest flow’rs
There in life’s merry way - Some day I’ll wander back again
To hearts so kind and true
Whose gentle faces still remain
In mem’ries cherished view
No more my wayward feet shall roam
Life’s troubled pathway o’er
But in the life and love of home
I’ll rest me evermore
Sung here by Vancha March:
