Refrain: Listen to her pleading, “Wand’ring boy, come home,” Lovingly entreating, do no longer roam; Let your manhood waken, heav’nward lift your eyes; If you love your mother, meet her in the skies. 2 Now the old home, vacant, has no charms for you; One dear form is absent, mother, kind and true; Evermore she dwells where pleasure never dies, If you love your mother, meet her in the skies.
