I'M HOME AGAIN
As sung by Bohola on "Bits of Bohola (and a Bit)" (2008)

1. I'm home again; I'm home again, nor will I leave it more.
I'll spend my days in love with you, dear friends, till life is o'er.

2. We never loved our home so well till far from it we roam,
For other lands will ne'er bestow the sweets of childhood's home.

3. Then fill your glasses, loving friends, and drink to all who roam,
But ne'er forget to toast the cot you love to call your home.

4. There, mothers kind and fathers dear forestall(?) their lips to pray,
And call down blessings from above to guide us on our way.

5. Then can we ever love a spot beside the silent tomb,
Like the dear one we'll ne'er forget, our childhood's happy home.

6. Then fill your glasses, loving friends, and drink to all who roam,
But ne'er forget to toast the cot you love to call your home.

7. Goodbye to friends I've met abroad, some generous and kind,
But yet they ne'er can compensate for those I left behind.

8. Old Erin's isle I love the best of all 'neath heaven's dome.
Why should I not haste back to it, my childhood's happy home?

9. Then fill your glasses, loving friends, and drink to all who roam,
But ne'er forget to toast the cot you love to call your home.

10. Then fill your glasses, loving friends, and drink to all who roam,
But ne'er forget to toast the cot you love to call your home.
