[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.
