Recorded by hank williams, sr.   Words and music by joe earls      [e] I went to the old home --- where I [a] once used to [e] roam   And all of my friends --- had [f#] ev'ryone [b7] gone   How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice did I [e] hear   There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home.      [e] no one --- to welcome me home;   Oh! no, no one --- to [f#] welcome me [b7] home   How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice could I [e] hear   There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home.      I went to the old school --- where I once loved to play   And all of my playmates had every one gone   So lonesome and drear --- no voice did I hear   There was no one --- to welcome me home.      No one - to welcome me home   There was one --- to welcome me home   But, when I behold --- that mansion of gold   There'll be someone --- to welcome me home.
