The Home Road

J. Carpenter

Sing a Hymn of Freedom,

Fling the banner high!

Sing the songs of Liberty,

Songs that shall not die.

For the long, long road to Tipperary

Is the road that leads me home

O'er hills and plains,

By lakes and lanes,

My Woodlands! My Cornfields!

My Country! My Home!

In the quiet hours

Of the starry night

Dream the dreams of faraway

Homefires burning bright.

For the long, long road to Tipperary

Is the road that leads me home

O'er hills and plains,

By lakes and lanes,

My Woodlands! My Cornfields!

My Country! My Home!
