All of the friends
That I loved yesterday
Have gone home
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
The songbirds that sing
in the dell seem to say
"Gone home"
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
(Chorus)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They've left one by one
as their work here was done
Gone home
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
Life here is lonely
since they've gone before
Gone home
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
The old weeping willow
That stands by the door
Sadly sighs
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
Chorus
When the trumpet shall sound
On that great judgement day
We'll go home
(We will go home)
Go home
(We will go home)
To meet all our loved ones
that have gone on that way
They've gone home
(they have gone home)
Gone home
(they have gone home)
Chorus
