Bill, your link doesn't work any more as a link to song lyrics.

I have a song called ""Home Is Where The Heart Is" on a mostly bluegrass CD by Old & In The Way. I'm wondering if this is the one that your link used to take folks to.

Here are the lyrics, as well as I can transcribe them from hearing it. If anyone can fix the errors, please do.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
(Connie Gately)
On Stargate Records in 1961 by Connie & Joe.
On "Breakdown" (recorded live at The Boarding House, San Francisco, 1973) by Old & In The Way (Garcia, Grisman, Kahn, Clements, & Rowan)

Nestled in the pine trees in the mountains,
Down along the road I love so well.
There I know my dear old mother's waiting
Waiting, and I know she always will.

CHORUS: Home Is Where The Heart Is, they tell me.
Many men have tried to travel that lonesome road.
They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother.
They'll never find a place as sweet as home.

Now many years ago I left my old home,
Started out to ramble all around.
If ever I return to where I came from,
I'll build a little home and settle down.
