Chorus (second last line)

'God speed the day....

Second Verse

I've wandered in many far off lands,
And travelled many a mile.
I've missed the folk I've cherished most,
The joy of a friendly smile.
It warms up the heart of the wand'rer,
The clasp of a welcoming hand,
To greet me when I return,
Home to my native land

Regards
John
