Stars over Devon, shining so bright
Had I the wings of a swallow
I'd follow your silvery light
Stars over Devon, high in the blue
Someone in Devon is waiting
And wondering if I've been true

I was the rover who yearned for the billowy sea
But I'll be in Heaven when Devon is smiling again at me

Stars over Devon, why did I roam
Oh won't you please keep on shining
And tell her I'm pining for home, sweet home.
