Welcome Home

There I see three smoking pots on the chimney top 
And the fire is on the go in my country home
Where I sit in my chair made of horses hair 
Soft are my feet amongst my woollen sheep's fleece 

Singing 

Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home my merry band 
Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home and take my loving hand 

There I see three magpies on the chimney top 
They call from the roof in the hope to bring us luck 
The owl hoots from the old oak tree
She is so very pleased to see me 

Singing 

Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home my merry band 
Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home and take my  loving hand 

There I see three little bluebirds tweeting a melody  
Home to our apple blossom tree 
Dancing amongst the flowers 
A lady speaks to me 
Gathering her nectar to stir in our tea 

Singing 

Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home my merry band 
Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home and take my loving hand 

There I see playing happily smiles of curiosity 
Our friends of furry loyalty jump up to greet me 
Wagging tails and tongues our cheeky hunting parsons 
Pink and panting under the evening Lilac skies 
Lead me home sweet home kindness in your eyes 

Singing 

Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home my merry band 
Welcome home my sweet my heart my love 
Welcome home and take my loving hand
