Do They Think Of Me At Home - Manhattan Mixed Trio (1910)

Manhattan Mixed Trio on Edison Amberol 367

1910

Famous Charles William Glover song

The 3rd verse explains that the singer/speaker left home due to loving someone whom the family disliked.

Do they think of me at home,
Do they ever think of me?
I who shared their ev'ry grief,
I who mingled in their glee?
Have their hearts grown cold and strange,
To the one now doom'd to roam?
I would give the world to know
Do they think of me at home?

Do they think of me at eve,
Of the song I used to sing?
Is the harp I struck untouch'd,
Does a stranger wake the string?
Will no kind forgiving word,
Come across the raging foam?
Shall I never cease to sigh
"Do they think of me at home?"

Do they think of how I loved,
In my happy, early days?
Do they think of him who came,
But could never win theur praise?
I am happy by his side,
And from mine he'll never roam.
But my heart will sadly ask,
"Do they think of me at home?"


"Do They Think Of Me At Home?" (1910) famous Charles William Glover song from Civil War era.
