Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Something haunts me every where I see
That loving face of thine
Both night and day, at work or play
It’s with me all the time
Where ‘ere I roam far across the foam
I see your loving smile
For you do not know where ever I go
It haunts me all the while
Chorus
Send me a letter from home sweet home
Send me a letter from home
I’m lonely without you where ‘ere I roam
So send me a line from over the foam
Do send me news of my dear home town
For I’m tired of living alone
So send me a letter from Home sweet home
I’ll cherish a letter from home
- If you will love me as I love thee
Only death us two will part
Although I’m far across the sea
You linger in my heart
I know you’ll cry and then dry your eyes
When you think of your true boy
So I pray my love to heaven above
To bless and give you joy
