Transcript: 

Verse 1: Sailing, sailing over the bounding foam, Ev’ry lad aboard the boat is sailing for home sweet home, A Scotchman sang a Scottish song, For the sake of Auld Land Syne, Shure! The dear little Shamrock an Irishman said is a fav’rite song of mine But there’s no place like home they said, then they sang in harmony.
Chorus: Home again, Home again, That’s the song we love to sing, Gather round, gather round, Come let your voices ring, We’ll sing the old time melodies, the songs that bring back memories, Home again, Home again That’s the song of the world to me.
Verse 2: They sat round each night singing the songs we know, Songs their dads and mothers sang in days of long ago, A lad from France his voice did raise, As he sang the Marseillaise, Whilst a Johnny Canuck sang O Canada in a true Canadian way But there’s no place like home they said, then they sang in harmony.
