Dreaming of home, dear old home
Home of my childhood and mother
Oft when I wake ‘tis sweet to find
I’ve been dreaming of home and mother

Home, dear home, childhood’s happy home
When I played with sister and with brother
‘Twas the sweetest joy when we did roam
Over hill and through dale with mother

Dreaming of home, dear old home,
Home of my childhood and mother
Oft when I wake ’tis sweet to find
I’ve been dreaming of home and mother

Sleep, balmy sleep, close mine eyes,
Keep me still thinking of mother
Hark! ’Tis her voice I seem to hear
Yes, I’m dreaming of home and mother

Angels come soothing me to rest
I can feel their presence as none other
For they sweetly say I shall be blest
With bright visions of home and mother

Childhood has come, come again,
Sleeping I see my dear mother
See her loved form beside me kneel
While I’m dreaming of home and mother

Mother dear, whisper to me now
Tell me of my sister and my brother
Now I feel thy hand upon my brow
Yes, I’ dreaming of home and mother
