Song language: English
Songs of Home |
| Old turf fires, children’s smiles |
| Friends to walk with, miles and miles |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
| In Australia far away |
| Through the dust and heat |
| Once I found an old bush man, tending to his sheep |
| Asked if he would play awhile, banjo on his knee |
| And much to my surprise, I knew his melody |
| Old turf fires, children’s smiles |
| Friends to walk with, miles and miles |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
| So many nights I’ve watched the sun |
| Go down on 'Frisco Bay |
| And sang those songs of nights back home |
| In the meadows making hay |
| I heard in Manitoba once, a mother hush a child |
| And the lullaby she sang to him |
| Took me back across the miles |
| Old turf fires, children’s smiles |
| Friends to walk with, miles and miles |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
| Songs of home are songs of hope |
| And dreams of other days |
| Songs of valleys green and low |
| And safe, unchanging ways |
| Songs of home are songs of love |
| Sometimes tinged with blue |
| And every song of home I hear |
| Is all wrapped up in you |
| Old turf fires, children’s smiles |
| Friends to walk with, miles and miles |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
| Old turf fires, children’s smiles |
| Friends to walk with, miles and miles |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
| No need now, feeling alone |
| When we sing the songs of home |
