Oh granite hills from whence I came
Oh wood on which I carved my name
No matter where or how long you’ve been
Home is where they take you in.
Oh mountain outlined on the sky
Oh lake iced over by and by
Oh child harried by the black fly
Lie together side by side
And make a family for awhile.
Oh sisters, see none of them alike
Come home and sit with me awhile
Before you scatter to the winds
Fair without and strong within
Stay here and let them take us in
Let ’em take us in.
Oh mother, father, rest your heads
You raised the roof and made the bed
And now with winter setting in
Let us tuck and take you in
Home is where they take you in.
Where they have to take you in.
Home is where they take you in.
