All of my friends that I loved yesterday

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have )

The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have )



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)



Life here is lonely since they've gone before

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have )

The old weeping willow that stands by the door

Sadly says (they have gone home) gone home (they have )



The trumpet will sound on that Great Judgment day

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have )

We'll see all our friends that have gone on that way

Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have )
