[e] I went to the old home --- where I [a] once used to [e] roam

And all of my friends --- had [f#] ev?ryone [b7] gone
How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice did I [e] hear
There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home

[e] no one --- to welcome me home;

Oh! no, no one --- to [f#] welcome me [b7] home
How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice could I [e] hear
There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home

I went to the old school --- where I once loved to play
And all of my playmates had every one gone
So lonesome and drear --- no voice did I hear
There was no one --- to welcome me home

No one - to welcome me home
There was one --- to welcome me home
But, when I behold --- that mansion of gold
There?ll be someone --- to welcome me home
