The Old Folks At Home Lyrics - 40 Irish Songs Everyone Ought To Know - The Original Irish Boys

Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood 

They call back to memory those happy days of yore 

Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted 

No light in the window, no welcome at the door 

 

Here's where the children played games on the heather 

Here's where they sailed their wee boats on the burn 

Where are they now? Some are dead, some have wandered 

No more to their home shall those children return 

 

Lonely's the house now and lonely the moorland 

The children are scattered, the old folk are gone 

Why stand I here like a ghost or a shadow? 

'Tis time I was movin' ... 'tis time I passed on.
