My Dear Old Mother's Home - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
MY DEAR OLD MOTHER'S HOME. Copyright, 1891, by Willis Woodward & Co. By Joe Hart 
The dearest spot in all this world to me, where in childhood days I grew-Years have passed since last I gazed on it. still my heart is ever true; Silence slumbers in each flower, songsters gather in each tree, And they welcome every stranger in that little home across the sea. 
Chorus. No one knows how much I love it. Through it's green fields I would roam; There's not a place on earth that's half so sweet As my dear old mother's home. 
My dear old mother and her soft, gray hair, I see her before me now; Her fond embrace and parting words I hear, as she kissed me on my brow; God bless you, may you soon return, were her words so sweet to me. And I know that she is waiting in that dear old home across the sea.- Chorus.
