[Verse 1]
All of my friends that I loved yesterday
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)
The songbird that sings in the dell seems to say
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)

[Chorus]
They've joined the heavenly fort
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one-by-one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)

[Guitar instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Life here is lonely since they've gone before
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)
The old weepin' willow that stands by the door
Sadly says (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)

[Chorus]
They've joined the heavenly fort
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one-by-one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)
[Guitar Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The trumpet will sound on that great judgement day
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)
We'll say all our friends that have gone on that way
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)

[Chorus]
They've joined the heavenly fort
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one-by-one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home)
Gone home (they have gone home)
