I've wandered far away from kin
And everything I knew
I left my home, I left my friends
Sadder yet, I left you
I'm going home, I'm going home
I have been away too long
I'm going home, I'm going home
Did you miss me while I was gone?
Did you miss me while I was gone?
This hard old world, it beat me down
Till I was black and blue
The music gone, no more the sound
Nothing left I found true
I'm going home, I'm going home
I have been away too long
I'm going home, I'm going home
Did you miss me while I was gone?
Did you miss me while I was gone?
As I lay down in some old barn
I dreamed a dream last night of you
You said you'd keep me from all harm
If one favor I would do
You said, "Come on home, come on home
You have been away too long
Come on home, come on home
I have missed you while you were gone
I have missed you while you were gone"
I have missed you while you were gone
I have missed you while you were gone
