Lyrics:

Oft' my thoughts drift back to childhood
To the time when I was free
As I played before the fireside
'Round my darling mother's knee.

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw mother in a vision
Kneeling there to pray for me.

Then one day our mother left us
Daddy said she'd gone to rest
I remember how she loved me
As she clutched me to her breast.

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw mother in a vision
Kneeling there to pray for me.

Some sweet day I'll meet you mother
Your little boy is commin' home
To see you as in days of childhood
The one you loved and left alone.

There's a blessed home up yonder
Where my loved ones wait for me
I saw Mother in a vision
Kneeling there to pray for me...
