As I sit so far from home, my mmnd is bound to wander, 1 tliink of spots 1 used to roam and the folks back yonder. I do flot know what is ahead, 1 tbink oft of the past, 0 good Urnes that we ail have had and pray its not the last. The strearn it wanders through the park, it neyer ceased to flow, The rockery along the road where ail the flowers grow; Those happy hours at die school, with boys and girls I know, The teachers always gave the breaks to tbemn that were s0 slow. Those friends of mine that were s0 kind when tirnes were flot s0 bright, Whom when I went to thank themn, said, just try to do what's right. Those folkcs I used to work for, on Park Street and round home, To me are the fmnest, no matter wbere I roam. They always made me welcome and met me with a smile, And made the works seem easy and living was worthwhile. 1 think about the lodge room and happy hours I've spent, And of the different places with the Old Gang I went. 1 think about my farnily, they mean 50 much to me; I realize I'm fighting so they can stiil be free. Our village isn't very large, as most folks wül agree, But the more 1 tbink the more I know it's Home Sweet Home to Me.
