Lyrics
1. Where are the friends, children once I knew?
Where are the fields sparkling with the dew?
These are the days I long for once more
Playing with the children round the cabin door
Hoping for a smile to take away the fear
Rolling on the floor while the missus near
Now! I’m lonely, my last hope renew
Till my dreams once more come true
Home for me, dear old Mizzoo
One more day to my old cabin home
Where I was a child, never more I’ll roam
Lonely and weary, so calm and still
Waken from sleep by a lone whippoorwill
Chorus:
No more worry, I’ll take my evening rest
No more weeping, I’ll sing with a zest
Play on the harp and banjo, too
Mizzoo! Mizzoo! dear old Mizzoo!
2. Just one more mile to my old cabin home
For now I see the old mossy dome
Near are the fields waving with the corn
And near by the old mill grinding all the morn
For once more I hear the humming of the wheel
Blowing still the horn far its morning peal
My old lorn friend, once I bid adieu
With a smile I’m greeting you
Home for me, dear old Mizzoo!
One more mile to my old cabin home
Where I was a child, never more I’ll roam
Footsore and weary, oh what a thrill
Waken from sleep by a lone whippoorwill
