Song Lyrics
To that dear old familiar spot, then give me back my dear old home, it was there i passed my happy childhood
Oh-le-lay-ee, my heart is like a humming sea shell
My heart is like a humming sea shell, then give me back my dear old home Carter, that old home by the sea
Where the water lilies strew the shore, my dear old cottage home, then give me back my dear old home
My heart is like a humming sea shell, i will sing of my cottage by the seashore, ee-e-e-e-e-ee
Oh-le-lay-ee, then give me back my dear old home Carter, ah-lee-oh-lay-ee
And i never will wander far away, and i never will wander far away
And i never will wander far away, oh-le-lay-ee Family, my dear old cottage home
Oh-le-lay-ee, then give me back my dear old home, and i never will wander far away
To that dear old familiar spot, then give me back my dear old home Sea, my dear old cottage home
and i never will wander far away
That old home by the sea, but the old cot ne er has been forgot
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, ee-e-e-e-e-ee
I will sing of my cottage by the seashore, then give me back my dear old home
oh-le-lay-ee
And i never will wander far away, oh-le-lay-ee, and my heart in fancy oft returns
Ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, that old home by the sea The, then give me back my dear old home
To that dear old familiar spot, then give me back my dear old home
Many years have passed since there i wandered, that old home by the sea
Then give me back my dear old home, oh-le-lay-ee
That old home by the sea, ee-e-e-e-e-ee by, then give me back my dear old home
From my home, to that dear old familiar spot
my dear old cottage home
that old home by the sea
Then give me back my dear old home, that tells of its birth where e er it roams
where the water lilies strew the shore
it was there i passed my happy childhood
and i never will wander far away
My dear old cottage home, and i never will wander far away
From my home, my dear old cottage home
It was there i passed my happy childhood, with a loved one that s gone before, my heart is like a humming sea shell
to that dear old familiar spot
and my heart in fancy oft returns
