lyrics
I am a-roaming over God's green earth,
Far from my family, so far from my birth,
City to city, from town to town,
Branches reach far and wide,
Roots grow in shallow ground.
My home is with you, babe.
Mother, farewell you have nurtured have cared,
Father, I will heed the wisdom you share,
Beloved, uncovered we lay, we know,
Flesh of my flesh,
Bone from my own bone.
My home is with you, babe.
Foxes they burrow, birds of the air they nest,
But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his weary head,
"In Father's mansion, are many a room,
I must go on now and prepare the way for you."
My home is with you, Lord.
