:=The old house at home=:
Oh! the old house at home where my fore-fathers dwelt
Where a child at the feet of my mother I knelt
Where she taught me the prayer where she read me the page
Which if in-fancy lisped is the sol-ace of age
My heart mid all changes wherever I rome
Never loses its love for the old house at home
It was there at the feet of my mother I knelt
In the old house at home where my fore-fathers dwelt.
:=Chorus=:
Oh! the old house at home Oh! the old house at home
My heart never changes for the old house at home
Oh! the old house at home Oh the old house at home
My heart never changes for the old house at home
