WHEN MY LOVE COMES HOME

I wish my love were here with me,

It's where he really ought to be.

He has gone so far away,

I just sit, wait, and pray.



He'll return to me, I know,

No longer will I be low.

I'll hold my head high and sing

Sigh a prayer as my heart takes wing.



I'll know my miseries will be gone

Things will be bright as golden dawn.

Please my love, hurry back

Nothing will my life then lack.
