The Home Road
by John Alden 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 far away
Home fires 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!
