"Ellen Bayne"

Willie we have missed you.
The little ones were up
 Till 'twas ten oclock and past
Then their eyes began to twinkle
 And they've gone to sleep at last
But they listened for your voice
 Till they thought you'd never come
Oh Willie we have have missed you
 Welcome welcome home.

Last night I wept and watched
 By the moon beams cheerless ray
Till I thought I heard your footsteps
 Then I wiped my tears away
But my heart grew sad again
 When I found you had not come
Oh Willie we have missed you
Welcome welcome home
