by John Alden Carpenter (1876 - 1951)
The Home Road
Language: English
Sing a Hymn of Freedom, Fling the banner high! Sing the songs of Liberty, Songs that shall not die. For the long, long road to Tipperary Is the road that leads me home O’er hills and plains, By lakes and lanes, My Woodlands! My Cornfields! My Country! My Home! In the quiet hours Of the starry night Dream the dreams of faraway Homefires burning bright. For the long, long road to Tipperary Is the road that leads me home O’er hills and plains, By lakes and lanes, My Woodlands! My Cornfields! My Country! My Home!
