An old friend lay on his dying bed
Held my hand to his bony breast
And he whispered low as I bend my head
Oh, theyâre calling me home, theyâre calling me come.
My time has come to sail away,
I know youâd love for me to stay.
But I miss my friends of yesterday,
Oh, theyâre calling me home, theyâre calling me home.
I know youâll remember me when Iâm gone,
Remember my stories, remember my songs,
Iâll leave them on earth, sweet traces of gold,
Oh, theyâre calling me home, theyâre calling me home.
So friends, gather round and bit me goodbye,
My bodyâs bound but my soul shall fly
My little light shining from the sky
Oh, theyâre calling me home, theyâre calling me home.
My time has come to sail away,
I know youâd love for me to stay.
But I miss my friends of yesterday,
Oh, theyâre calling me home, theyâre calling me home.
