   Those lives were mine to love and cherish
   To guard and guide along life’s way
   Oh God forbid that one should perish
   That one alas should go astray
   Back in the years with all together
   Around the place we’d romp and play
   So lonely now I oft’ times wonder
   Oh will they come back home some day
   I’m lonesome for my precious children
   They live so far away
   Oh may they hear my calling, calling
   and come back home some day
   I gave my all for my dear children
   Their problems still with love I share,
   I’d brave life’s storm, defy the tempest
   To bring them home from anywhere
   I lived my life my love I gave them,
   to guide them through this world of strife,
   I hope and pray we’ll live together
   In that great glad here after life
   I’m lonesome for my precious children
   They live so far away
   Oh may they hear my calling, calling
   and come back home some day
