I'LL BE HOME TO-MORROW.
I.
I've wander'd far from those I love, and many years have pass'd,Since in my dear old cherish'd home I saw their faces last;
But now I am returning and my journey soon will end,
I'll join the throng where happy smiles and gentle voices blend.
CHORUS.
Farewell, farewell!Ev'ry cloud of sorrow,
All my heart is fill'd with joy
For I'll be home tomorrow!
II.
How dear the hearts that dwell within that sweet domestic realm!I know that they have long'd for me as I have long'd for them;
The thought that I am near them, makes my lonely spirit yearn
To hear the burst of gladness that will welcome my return!
CHORUS.
Farewell, farewell!Ev'ry cloud of sorrow,
All my heart is fill'd with joy
For I'll be home tomorrow!
