I left my old home to ramble the country
My mother and dad said, son don't go wrong
But remember that God will always watch o'er you
And we will be waiting for you here at home
Chorus
Son, don't go astray, was what they both told me
Remember that love for God can be found
But now they're both gone, this letter just told me
For years they've been dead
The fields have turned brown
For many long years, this road I have travelled
No thoughts of the day when I would return
Now as I go home, I find no one waiting
The price I must pay to live and to love
Chorus
