Lyrics:

All of the friends that I loved yesterday
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)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They 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 ol' weeping willow that stands by the door
Sadly says (They have gone home), gone home (They have gone home)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walkin' the streets of pure gold
They left one by one as their work here was done
Gone home (They have gone home), gone home (They have gone home)
