1. There's a lonely cottage by the sea side,

A E

where the water lilies strew the shore,

it was there I passed my happy childhood

with a loved one that's gone before.

Then give me back my dear old home, that old home by the sea,

A E

and I never will wander far away,

B7 E

from my home, my dear old cottage home.

but the old cot ne'er has been forgot,

and my heart in fancy oft returns to that dear old familiar spot.

A E

that tells of its birth where e'er it roams,

I will sing of my cottage by the sea shore

B7

of my home my dear old cottage home. + CHORUS
