Lyrics | Welcome Home Sweet Home Verse: We sent you away with a smile boys, We knew what you’d do over there. Now that you’re back home laddie To mother dear and daddy, Just keep on smiling boy’s you’ve done your share. We’re mighty proud to own you And dog-gone happy too, So whoop her up “Les terribles” The town belongs to you. Refrain: Welcome home you Badger heroes. Welcome home boys, home sweet home. Uncle Sammy thanks you for ev’ry thing you’ve done And old Wisconsin’s crazy ‘bout her fighting sons of guns. We’ve “kept the home-fire’s burning” And our love for you alone. So “On Wisconsin!” Oh, you thirty second, Welcome home sweet home. Verse: You’ve come back to us with a smile boys, You know what you’ve done over there. And smiles you should be wearing Your noble deeds and daring, From coast to coast your praises fill the air. Just like you dads in sixty We knew it all the while. God bless you boys you did the job, In true Wisconsin style. Refrain |
