Lyrics
  • Home Again Verse: I’m going home, I’m going home, Back to the land I am longing to see, I’ve traveled round, but never found A spot on earth that looked better to me. Refrain: Home again, no more to roam again! You see America first, take a tip from me
  • I think your London town has won renown, But I want to go home! Verse: A little house, a little hill, A little brook running on to the mill, The ocean blue, a ship or two, My mother’s arms, that I’m longing to fill. Refrain: Home again, no more to roam again! You see America first, take a tip from me
  • If you’re wise and you can use your eyes, You’ll find an Emerald Isle lying round ev’ry mile
  • We change your climate, too, And you can choose your view, We’ll show you wonders wherever you roam
  • Your dear old Petrograd is not so bad, But I want to
