The sheet music:
Lyrics
Oh, I want to go home
Where once more I may roam
Thru’ the fields
Where the bright daisies bloom
Where the meadow larks sing
To their mates in the spring
And the doves their soft lullabies croon
Yes, I want to go back
To that dear old log shack
Far away from the feverish throng
Where we’l stroll once again
Down the old shady lane
Where my heart first sang
Love’s old sweet song
Refrain:
Now my dreams have come true
I’m returning to you
We will sit ‘neath the old apple tree
And we’ll roam hand in hand
Thru’ that wonderful land
Where you said you’d be waiting for me
There we’ll build a love nest
In the place we liked best
Where I told love’s sweet story to you
Where we spent happy hours
‘Mid the wild woodland flowers
When I’ll know all my dreams have come true
