Lyrics:

 
Ever homeward, ever homeward, yearns the weary rover,
 
Ever homeward, ever homeward, till the journey's over
 
Warm embraces and friendly faces, saying welcome home,
 
Let me lie there 'neath the sky there, never more to roam
 
Ever homeward, ever homeward, yearns the weary rover
 
Ever homeward, over homeward, now the journey's over
 
Ever homeward, ever homeward, yearns the weary rover
 
Ever homeward, ever homeward, till the journey's over
