All of my friends that I loved yesterday Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) The song bird that sings in the dale seems to say Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) Chorus They've joined the heavenly fold They're walking on streets of pure gold They left one by one as their work here was done Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) Life here is lonely since they've gone before Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) The old weeping willow that stands by the door sadly sings Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) Chorus The trumpet will sound On that great judgement day Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) We'll see all our friends Who have gone on that way Gone home (they have gone home) Gone home (they have gone home) Chorus
