Lyrics
  • Somebody's daily pray'r, Brings him from "over there." Refrain
  • Now that they'll see their lad, Somebody's folks are glad
  • 'There is no place so precious to me, As back on the knee, of mother,' Down the lane, and home again. Verse: Somebody's folks were sad, They gave up all they had
  • Night and day, throughout the weary way, A candle light, burning bright, Seems to say
  • Now from across the foam, Somebody's coming home. Refrain: Home again, home again
  • If he'd come back some day
  • Somebody could not say
  • Down the Lane and Home Again Verse: Somebody went away, Left those at home to pray
