If I Only Had a Home Sweet Home Lyrics

(Yodel)
A party for the little one that everyone should go
They sang the songs of Home Sweet Home, the one we all loved so.
Without a ragged dial for Don, his heart so lone and sad
He never had a home sweet home with a dear inviting bed.
If only had a home sweet home, someone to care for me,
Like all the other boys and girls, how happy I would be,
A kind mother and father dear, to call me all their own,
This world would be all sunshine, if I had a home sweet home.

[Yodel and Instrumental]

The little ones now homeward bound, their hearts so light and free,
The ragged child who wandered on the home sweet home paddy
No cosy little bed for him but home so browned and bare
And as he lay him down to sleep no more for me to care

If only had a home sweet home, someone to care for me,
Like all the other boys and girls, how happy I would be,
A kind mother and father dear, to call me all their own,
This world would be all sunshine, if I had a home sweet home.
[Yodel]
