TRAVELLIN' HOME

(arrangement by Dix & Masters
of traditional Scottish song
"Westering Home")

as recorded by Vera Lynn
With accompaniment directed by Glen Somers
June 1957


I'm travellin' home, travellin' home,
Far have I roamed from the place I love.
Winds that have blown me on my way
Blow me right back to harbour.

Distant horizon, so sweet from afar,
Beckons to me like a shimmering star.
When you're away, oh how swiftly you find
You long for the place far behind you.

Travellin' home, travellin' home,
I'm like a stone that's been rollin' too long!
Winds that have blown me on my way
Blow me right back to harbour.

I'm travellin' home, travellin' home,
Far have I roamed from the place I love.
Winds that have blown me on my way
Blow me right back to harbour.

Distant horizon, so sweet from afar,
Beckons to me like a shimmering star.
When you're away, oh how swiftly you find
You long for the place far behind you.

Travellin' home, travellin' home,
I'm like a stone that's been rollin' too long!
Winds that have blown me on my way
Blow me right back to harbour.

Travellin' home again,
Travellin' home, my love, to you.
Travellin' home again,
Home again to you!
