They Have Gone Home

Cat. #1136 (MFH #789) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970

VERSE 1
O, where 'er th friends I once'd loved so dear
O, they have gone home, they have gone home
The songbirds are singing th death seem to say
They have gone home, they have gone home

CHORUS:
They've joined th Heaven'ly fold
They walk in th streets of pure gold
They left one by one as their work here was done
O, they have gone home, they have gone home

VERSE 2
My here's so lonely since they have been gone
They have gone home, they have gone home
Th weepin' willow that stands by th door
O, they have gone home, they have gone home
